neoliberal?

Ok, someone needs to define "neoliberal" for me because I really don't understand how various people use it.

I feel like Cornell West is not reading the same Ta-Nehisi Coates' work I did? I'm not saying he shouldn't be criticized, to be clear. (I haven't read We Were Eight Years In Power. It sounds too depressing at the moment. I've read most of his other work, though, and most of his writing/reporting in The Atlantic.)
