    Everything under neoliberalism is assessed primarily in terms of money. It thrives on selfishness. Doing things to improve climate and reduce carbon emissions doesn't have immediate profits and is therefore ignored. The wealth inequality results in the more wealthy thinking they deserve the wealth and seeing the poor as inferior thus destroying social cohesion.

      Liberalism does not seem to seek any kind of cohesion, rather it focuses on maximising each individual's desires regardless of the resulting sum of these individual fulfillments.
