I would like to analyse the ideological, economic and political theoretical foundations of Neo-liberalism in order to understand its impact and association with de detriment of social protection programs. Any suggestions?
You can read articles from Matthew Sparke (Matthew Sparke). However, I am not sure anything you will read will ever be completely objective and apolitical. You should probably do some more work and try to understand where the authors come from when talking about neoliberalism.
generally I hesitate to recommend - at least o such a general level, i.e. also: to people I do nit know. Still, have try here: Birch, Kean, 2017: A Research Agenda for Neoliberalism; Cheltenham/Northampton: Edward Elgar
