Neoliberalism is the right-wing reaction to the post-war Keynesian social democracy. It advocates that every problem is best solved by a laissez-faire market-based solution, and since computers, it’s been accelerated by the financialization of those markets, where products and services become traded assets like stocks, instead of, like, used.

This continues until universities are real estate companies that, by accident of birth, also have an unprofitable education business on the side that they’d rather shed if they could.
