Neoliberal marketisation imposed its own new bureaucracy

Evidence

Since there is no automatic way to “marketise” education and other public services and there is no straightforward way of quantifying the “productivity” of workers such as teachers, the imposition of business discipline has meant the installation of colossal bureaucratic machineries. So an ideology which promised to liberate us from state socialist bureaucracy has instead imposed a bureaucracy all of its own. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 1724
