We're talking about papers cited globally ignoramus, but your coping is very adorable. Maybe if wasps dealt with cheating domestically they too one day might produce some serious scientific output.

Except there wasn't a neoliberal economy. Weimar system was fundamentally different in its core principles and goals. It embraced state interventionism and a state-supported welfare system. The government had an active role in managing the economy and working with a network of large industrial cartels. The goal of the system was to prioritize social stability and collective well-being.

In contrast, neoliberalism seeks to minimize the state's role in the economy. It's core principle is the argument that free markets are the most efficient drivers of prosperity. It advocates for deregulation, privatization, and fiscal austerity. Neoliberalism is opposed to both state-run industries and social welfare spending. Neoliberal economists argue that such interventions distort the market and hinder individual liberty.

To sum up,the two ideologies are a direct opposition with each other. Weimar was built on state-managed stability and social security, while neoliberalism advocates for free market fundamentalism. These are things you'd know if you weren't an ignoramus.

Neoliberalism doesn't actually seek to minimize the state's role in the economy. It embraces state intervention on the side of bourgeoisie.

While in practice the state does end up being used to prop up capitalists in times of crisis, the ideology does preach maximizing the role of markets and minimizing the role of the state.
