     The wiki page describes neoliberalism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism

     Generally the term "liberal" relates to the economic agenda, not ethical values.

     For example, right-wing libertarianism.

     Does this sentence on the wiki page sound familiar "neoliberalism would establish an elite structure of successful individuals that would assume power in society, with these elites replacing the existing representative democracy acting on the behalf of the majority".
