This article culminates ten years of conversations between Eduardo Murguia and the author around the relation between the development of Information Science and the neoliberal world. The underlying hypothesis is that Information Science is the neoliberal science par excellence. To ground this claim, the ways towards the contemporary concept of scientific research, through neoliberalism and post-modernity, are explored, with the aid of different scholars from the fields of Information Science, Sociology and Anthropology. As a conclusion, three possibilities are offered to keep thinking about the Murguia’s hypothesis, that of Information Science being the great neoliberal science.
