Synopsis
This study addresses the fact that Neoliberalism, while developing individual normative ideas, failed to develop a theory of a closed society and focused on shaping society in accordance with a market society. Methodologically, an approach has been adopted aimed at establishing this basic position based on the texts of Friedrich von Hayek and other Neoliberal figures. The ideas about the evolutionary formation of the market and society put forward by Hayek are considered the most important reference point of Neoliberalism. The main goal of neoliberalism is to shape society in accordance with a market society. However, when looking at its applications, Neoliberalism has the appearance of a project for the disintegration of politically organized society. Individual freedom in the neoliberal sense, on the other hand, consists only of non-discrimination in market participation. The aim of the study is to show that Neoliberal market society and market individual understanding cannot be the solution to today's social problems.
