"Il “neoliberalismo” e il mito del mercato: le diverse radici della “società libera”"
In this paper I want to examine
how the ‘myth’ of free-market within the
debates on the ‘rebirth’ of liberalism at the
beginning of the XX century (what sometimes
was also called ‘neo-liberalism’) was
a significant breakthrough in rethinking the
tasks of a ‘free society’. However, although
a theological interpretation of the market was
been refused by the early ‘neo-liberal’ exponents,
in this work I want to show how this
attempt, on the one hand, has steered toward
the ruinous idea that politics would have
been able to correct the unwanted outcomes
of spontaneous processes; on the other hand,
instated, it has been proved the uselessness to
think of free-market as a ‘myth’, identifying
in its operating principle a purposely human
component which consists in the attribution
of subjective values and in the possible cultural
adherences which can arise from them.
