• Phillip W. Magness, “Neoliberalismus” in the 1920s = a term of disparagement used by German Marxists and Nazis to attack free market economics.“Neoliberalism” today = a term of disparagement used by academic Marxists and economic nationalist right wingers to attack free market economics.
  • Phillip W. Magness, Coining Neoliberalism: Interwar Germany and the Neglected Origins of a Pejorative Moniker Widespread use of the term “neoliberalism” is of surprisingly recent origin, dating to only the late 20th century. The “neoliberalism” literature has nonetheless settled on an origin story that depicts the term as a self-selected moniker from the 1938 Walter Lippmann Colloquium. This paper challenges the 1938 origin, positing an earlier adoption of the term by Marxist and fascist political writers in 1920s German-language texts. These writers used “neo/neu-liberalismus” as a derisive moniker for the “Marginal Utility School,” then anchored at the University of Vienna. Definitional commonalities link this earlier use to pejorative deployment of the term in the present.

• • Phillip W. Magness, The term “neoliberalism” originated in 1920s Germany when it was adopted by the Marxist left and the proto-Nazi right as a pejorative label for free-market economists. The Marxist left still uses it the same way, but so does the “postliberal” far-right. Some things never change.
