On Several Descriptions of Neoliberalism

Abstract

In this paper, how the concept of neoliberalism has been accepted in Japan is analyzed, and then the extent to which it fits into Japanese society is examined using data on four issues: economic policy, social policy, governance, and subject. Subsequently, by using articles on education, ways in which the neoliberal concept is used as a comprehensive description of society is examined. Finally, consideration is given to how we should deal with the neoliberal concept.
