Research on neoliberalism is still divided into social scientific and social history literatures on the one hand, and economic and intellectual history literature on the other hand. Major publications also still suffer from Anglo-Saxon bias due to a focus on English language literature despite a wide range of relevant publications in other major languages.

Lecture by Prof. Melinda Cooper, University of Sydney
Description
Recent historiography has tended to downplay the importance of the family in neoliberal revisions of the social. And yet a closer look at the key economic debates of the 1970s indicates that a focus on private family values was central to the neoliberal project of a free market order. Whether they were looking at the question of welfare reform, inheritance or the financing of higher education, neoliberal thinkers such as Milton Friedman, Gary Becker and James Buchanan were adamant that the private family should replace the social insurance state as the primary source of economic security.
