Abstract

This paper starts gathering historical evidence related to eventual regulation/
deregulation cycles in the two first decades of the XXth and XXIth centuries. Following, an
analysis on the passageway of the Medieval Man to a Liberal Man in Europe, and on the
economic and political features of the Classical Liberalism in its path to Neoliberalism. Later
on, a search for answers to the recent disarrangements and authoritarian trends in the world.
Many critics were made to Neoliberalism as well as speculations on the future of this system.
