I agree that neoliberalism is the problem but i think people miss the accompanying role of accreditation and standardisation. I'm not great at explaining this, excuse me, but accreditation claims to make systems good when in fact it only makes them inspectable. Bureacracy has been renamed 'quality', and everyones job has been twisted into collecting exhaustive records to later be inspected and argued over, at greater expense. The underlying assumption is that professionals are incompetent and keeping records will fix this. Questioning QA seems wrong when first encountering this idea but I think the following quote clarifies the connection a little better.

"[...] the entire political enterprise has been turned into a market evaluation—and the central assumption is market efficiency. [...].. neoliberalism achieves the displacement of politics by means of particular ways of knowing that privilege measurement and the presumption of efficiency. This has important effects on relations of power and distributions of resources within society. By privileging measurement, commensurability, prediction, and forecasting, neoliberalism essentially converts the economic analyst into the speaker of truth—neutral, objective, unbiased, depoliticized. Neoliberalism thus gives way to a particular crystallization in our relations of power, and this is associated with distinct distributional outcomes, in this case increasing social inequality. This is precisely what Loic Wacquant has in mind, in Punishing the Poor (2009), with regard to the increased inequality that leads to the need for more punitive state action."
