    Neocapitalism is a blend of expansive private enterprise, extensive social-welfare programs and selective government intervention-a syncretism of capitalism's proven methods with some of socialism's less extreme aims. It has already made doctrinaire Marxism outdated, changed many socialists into business-minded pragmatists and made social workers out of many capitalists.
