It is an ideology that is used to solidify and concentrate power.
"Free trade agreements" that actually lower trade interaction and increase the foothold of multinational corporations in foreign countries to outsource work and avoid taxation.
"Competition" for the workers, while large corporations get massive tax cuts, bailouts and lobby for regulations that benefit them and are a burden for SMBs.
"Market innovation" that is largely superficial and stands of the shoulders of giants, researchers who are paid by the taxpayer.
(I'm being hostile and uncharitable here to get a point across and give some counterweight to the status quo.)
