Yeah the Economist is pretty well known to be neoliberal. Which is fine… I subscribe and it’s a pretty good source if you understand that.

Why are the journalists and writers names not revealed?

That’s a specific editorial decision[0] to present work in The Economist’s voice rather than the individual journalists’.

Neoliberalism is not related to liberalism, its economics theory we've been living in since Reagan. Ds and Rs embrace it.

Neoconservatism is more a social theory, i.e. pushback from 60s social liberals.

The Wikipedia article is quite misleading; the current neoliberal movement absolutely leans left. In modern usage, neoliberal refers to a particular type of liberal/Democrat.
