"Neo-liberal free market? I assume by neo-liberal you refer to liberals of today, who are quite opposite to the classical liberals of the past (such as the Founders of the US and the traditional English libertarians)? Neo-liberals do not believe in a free market."

Actually Neo-liberals are generally thought of as free market libertarians that support such institutions as the WTO and regional (and eventually world) free trade zones. I'm not 100% sure where the "neo" comes from. I suppose it's to distinguish them from political left-liberals.

So far I'm really liking three of the suggestions and once I've done a preliminary scan of sources, I'll list up a few and see if there are suggestions for more or better ones to consult. I think I'm going to lean towards shorter sources if only because the semester is setting itself up to be quite punishing.
