economic liberalization leads to reduction in absolute poverty but the danger of increase of relative poverty remains. if this is true , then how ? Sameer3482 ( talk) 01:33, 19 February 2009 (UTC)sameer
This article sounds almost exactly like the neoliberalism article. Additionally, the article seems biased, excluding important information on proponents that are critical of neoliberalism/economic liberalization. Specifically information pertaining to vulnerability to economic crisis, impacts of EU liberalizations (negative ones), the increasing number of individuals who cannot gain access to necessary resources, etc that have resulted due to liberalization. It also does not mention the role of IMF restructuring in securing extreme liberalization in many third world countries (the so called, TINA factor), which has actually caused many of the problems associated with the third world today.
The neoliberalism article, while not as detailed as I would like, is obviously superior and I believe this article should either redirect to that one or merged there. If you disagree, please state why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.75.97.75 ( talk) 19:28, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Dr. Hufbauer has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
The sketch on Economic Liberalization provides a reasonable short description. Some corrections and additions are needed:
1. It is not privatization of government institutions but rather privatization of state-owned enterprises. 2. Reduction or elimination of tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade deserves prominence -- that's the leading content of "open markets, etc." 3. For developing countries, trade liberalization again comes first, and then investment liberalization. The two are closely linked.. 4. The article gives the impression that the majority of developing countries have liberalized a lot. NOT SO! Some have, like Chile, Peru, Colombia, Singapore, and China. But many have not, including Brazil, India, Pakistan, South Africa, .... the list goes on and on. 5. The UAE is quite open -- not at all like Saudi Arabia. 6. The "Washington Consensus", as the macro-economic counterpart of trade and investment liberalization, deserves mention.
As for the draft on liberalization of services, this is a work in progress, and misleading in important respects. The author should consult articles on services trade posted on the Peterson Institute for International Economics website, among other sources.
We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

Well done, though somewhat incomplete. Economic liberalization is good but not all paths toward it are good. An example of what not to do is Russia

Dr. Florio has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
The style of the first section is unscholarly and the mention to Saudi Arabia is plainly wrong as the country has an active policy to attract foreign investment (Clustering initiative), see http://www.ic.gov.sa.
In the second section there is also a mistake: manufacturing is certainly more liberalized usually than the service sectors, which are highly regulated. The article seems more about trade liberalization than market opening in servicese, such as network industries, see Massimo Florio, Network Industries and Social Welfare
The Experiment that Reshuffled European Utilities, Oxford University Press, 2013
We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
We believe Dr. Florio has expertise on the topic of this article, since he has published relevant scholarly research:
