Let an agent explain liberalisation in its economic, social and legal forms, describe documented cases and their outcomes with attribution, present debates neutrally, and separate liberalisation from privatisation and deregulation.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain liberalisation in its economic, social and legal forms, describe documented cases and their outcomes with attribution, present debates neutrally, and separate liberalisation from privatisation and deregulation.
The process of relaxing government restrictions in economic, social or legal spheres, such as opening markets to competition in energy or rail transport, removing price and trade controls, rapid transitions known as shock therapy, and social liberalisation such as decriminalising conduct; liberalisation is a form of law reform and social change, is pursued for efficiency, freedom or integration, and is debated for its distributional and social effects, presented here with positions attributed.
What it is for: Relaxing government restrictions.
It can be explain forms of liberalisation; describe cases and outcomes; present debates neutrally; separate related terms.
