While neoliberalism and libertarianism are in the same direction, they aren't the same thing. Neoliberals are generally fine with government restricting what can be bought and sold, they just want most legal goods and services to generally be provided by private enterprise with limited regulation, and with only very limited barriers to international trade in goods and services that are legal in both the source and destination jurisdiction.
