The ideology underpinning neoliberal globalization demands that all markets and exchanges, large and small, global and local, be optimized for profit.

Stockpiles of surgical masks and ventilators are a waste of money. Community hospitals in poor and rural counties won’t turn a profit, so they must be closed.
