description Here we suggest a comparative analysis of the genealogy and functions of different types of liberalism appeared during modernity. After a preliminary analytical distinction between political contents and regulatory path, classical liberalism is then recognized as a first form of translation of the emancipatory aspirations inscribed in the spirit of modernity. Although neo-liberalism appears only in the early seventies in Chile, it is possible to recognize its genealogy and function already in the twenties of the twentieth century, within very different political contexts: here it is characterized by a braking action against the universalization of the modern process of emancipation, promised by the re-distributive logic of centricity adopted by the socialist regulatory alternative. Western countries neoliberalism of the 80s, however, shows as a way out from an exhausted modernity. Summing up, liberalism first translates, then slows down and, finally, goes beyond modernity.
