The fusion of neoliberal economic doctrine—privatization, deregulation, market fundamentalism—with technological infrastructure. Techno-neoliberalism treats everything as a platform to be optimized: public services become apps, citizens become users, democracy becomes algorithmic preference aggregation. It champions “disruption” as an end in itself, ignoring that disruption mostly transfers wealth upward. Techno-neoliberalism’s signature move is to frame privatization as innovation: replacing public libraries with Amazon, public transit with Uber, public healthcare with wearables. It uses technology to dismantle the public sphere while claiming to modernize it.
