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.
