Though not necessarily running smoothly, over time the neoliberal networks developed an increasingly fine-grained division of intellectual labor, which the strategists of the Institute of Economic Affairs have sometimes described in military terms. According to Frost (2002), partisan think tanks that organize academic production of publications tailored to specific audiences constitute the long-range artillery; both think tanks and journalists dedicated to marketing neoliberal pamphlets (book reviews, interviews, dinner speeches, etc.) are considered the short-range artillery; whereas neoliberal politicians and other activist types are engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
