SteveClassical Liberals believe in egoistic individualism, negative freedom, a minimal or nightwatchman state, a laissez faire economic system and individual responsibility over welfare. This differs from modern liberals who prefer developmental individualism, positive freedom, an enabling state, keynsian economics and finially social responsibilty over welfare
They're the same thing, even though some left wing people tend to claim the two are slightly incompatible.
Classical Liberalism follows the works of john Locke, Adam Smith et al.
Neo-Liberalism follows the works of Hayek, von Mises, Friedman et al.
Neo-Liberalism is essentially the modern Classical Liberalism.
Classic liberals were focused more on the ability to do and say what you wish. The liberals of the 60's were about minimalization of our restrictions and maximization of our rights. The reading of Maranda rights is one example of the things that liberals pushed in the 60's.
Today, liberals focus very heavily on the social and economic redistribution of power and wealth. While true Conservatives view over taxation as a form of slavery, liberals view it as a method of redistributing of the "rich's" wealth.
Liberal today are for a strong and very powerful central Government which can decide what health care you may or may not receive. They are for the distributing of freedom from the federal standpoint, rather then an unalienable right from God.
