Neoliberalism started before Regan, Carter passed tons of neoliberal reforms. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/jimmy-carters-ruinous-neoliberal-legacy/

I'd probably date it to 1971 when it came to ascendancy, though the tendency was around earlier still. It was under a republican but it was Nixon.
