Abstract
Important theme in political theory is the freedom. With a wide range of meanings, in its negative sense, understood as non-interference, it get practical reflections clearly distinguishable in the field of political action. In this view, the (neo)liberal ideology appropriates this concept for in the promoting of freedom, regarded as the supreme good, defend less state. In this sense, this article has the intention to question this premise that underpins the (neo)liberal thought. What freedom is achieved mainly by lower classes, before the shrinking of the state? Given the small list of options that the poor end up with and that hinders the exercise of citizenship, seems to be a fallacy that in the notion that "race" toward success everyone has equal opportunities. In this perspective, this very present belief that poverty can be explained by lack of effort on a clear possibility of rise of all competitors in the market is merely an illusion, as well as the thesis that no state interference guarantees as longed individual freedom. This thought seems much more a way of favoring a small fraction of the population and cover a mode of production exclusive and unjust.
