Neo-liberals are for economic liberalization, which includes deregulation and free trade, which often times puts them in the same camp as conservatives. Modern-day neo-liberalism is associated very heavily with Laissez-faire capitalist ideas, which again, is more of a right-wing thing. "Hard" mode. 

EDIT: And I didn't say neo-liberals [i]are[/i] right-wing. I said they have a lot in common.
