ace, neoliberalism is a broad concept.
If you want a dictionary definition, it represents a kind of liberalism bent towards a laissez-faire philosophy. But dictionary definitions are only so useful. Encyclopedic entries are a bit more useful. Neither are a be-all or end-all of anything.
Though I do sympathize with your need to have everything cut, dried, and stored in little boxes that are clearly labelled, not allowed to touch one another, and kept stowed away from the real world.
