description Neoliberalism can be interpreted in various ways, such as an economic theory, an economic policy or an ideology and also as a governmental rationality or world reason, an approach that has been gaining strength since the late twentieth century. In the first approach it appears as a radicalization of classical liberalism, which confronts perspectives such as Soviet statism, the National Socialist and the Welfare State, in addition to vindicating the return to the free market. It is defined by ontological-social, methodological and anthropological features. On the other hand, in the second interpretation it is characterized as a rationality that crosses social practices at a microsocial level, as a practice of subjectivation that modifies the behaviors of individuals, conforming subjectivities, so that those belonging to the popular classes they go on to operate << rationally >>, rejecting in passing the values inherent to the interventionist state and those of the popular traditions themselves, reaching a new synthesis by mixing the new neoliberal values with those that were their own. This new form of rationality, this "bottom" neoliberalism that has demonstrated the potential to resist populist policies, has colonized the practices of broad layers of the population, which makes it imperative to reconsider the reflection about this phenomenon, because the consequences of its objectification both at the state-governmental level and at the microphysical level (that of the behavior of the popular estates) jeopardize the very survival of social and economic life, by modifying and destroying the social tissue, articulated by social solidarity

En el primer enfoque aparece como una radicalización del liberalismo clásico, que confronta a perspectivas como el  estatismo soviético, el nacionalsocialista y el estado benefactor, además de reivindicar el regreso al libre mercado. Se define por rasgos ontológico-sociales, metodológicos y antropológicos. Por su parte, en la segunda interpretación se lo caracteriza como una racionalidad que atraviesa las prácticas sociales a un nivel microsocial, como una práctica de subjetivación que modifica las conductas de los individuos, conformando subjetividades, de modo que las que pertenecen a las clases populares pasan a operan <<racionalmente>>, rechazando de paso los valores inherentes al estado intervencionista y los de las propias tradiciones populares, alcanzado una nueva síntesis al mixturando los nuevos valores neoliberales con los que le eran propios. Esta nueva forma de racionalidad, este neoliberalismo <<de abajo>> que ha demostrado el potencial de resistir las políticas populistas, ha colonizado las prácticas de amplias capas de la población, lo cual hace imperativo que se replantee la reflexión acerca de este fenómeno, pues las consecuencias de su objetivación tanto a nivel estatal-gubernamental como en el plano microfísico (el de las conductas de los estamentos populares) ponen en riesgo la propia supervivencia de la vida social y económica, al modificar y destruir el tejido social, articulado por la solidaridad social.
