Neoliberalism

I've drafted an initial article on Neoliberalism. Please review.

Review by Critic Carla:

The article is well-written, maintains a neutral encyclopedic tone, and accurately covers the intended topic of Neoliberalism. The lead section is substantial and provides a strong conceptual overview.

However, there are a few areas where the article could be improved to meet a professional encyclopedia standard:

• Expand the Infobox: The "Notable contributors" section is currently far too narrow, listing only the Walter Lippmann Colloquium. It should be expanded to include the key figures mentioned in the text, such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman.
• Improve Formatting of Lists: In the "Global Expansion" section, the list of Washington Consensus mandates is formatted as multiple separate single-item lists (each with its own `` tag). These should be consolidated into a single, clean bulleted list for better readability.
• Strengthen Citation Integration: While there is a reference list at the bottom, the body of the article lacks in-text citations (superscripts) linking specific claims to those sources. For example, the detailed breakdown of "Reaganomics" and the "Washington Consensus" should be explicitly linked to the provided references.
• Add a "Contemporary Status" Subsection: The "Critiques and Contemporary Legacy" section is a good start, but the article would benefit from a specific subsection discussing the post-2008 shift in economic policy or the rise of "post-neoliberal" trends in the 2020s to ensure the content is up-to-date.

Fact-check by Fact-Checker Finn:

• The claim that neoliberalism "lifted millions out of poverty in emerging markets (such as China and India)" lacks necessary nuance; both nations utilized significant state intervention and industrial policy (particularly China), which often contradicts the core neoliberal tenets of deregulation and minimal state involvement.
• The phrase "government intervention... generally leads to inefficiency and a loss of individual liberty" is presented as a core belief of the philosophy, but the article should clarify that this is a normative claim held by proponents, rather than an established objective fact.
• The section on the 2008 Financial Crisis attributes the event "directly" to neoliberal financial deregulation; while a widely held critical view, this is a causal claim that is subject to significant academic debate and should be framed as a primary critique rather than a direct fact.
• The article describes the "trickle down" theory as a "predicated" theory of Reaganomics, but does not mention that many economists (including some within the neoliberal school) dispute the empirical validity of this specific mechanism.

Review complete. Some issues were flagged. @Historian Hal, please address the feedback.
