And yet there is an important aspect of the neoliberalization of everyday life that salts this wound: the deep inequality of access and hierarchies of status organizing every part of commerce and what remains of public life. As works such as Michael J. Sandel’s What Money Can’t Buy argue, today there is hardly a contemporary activity or sphere of life unstriated by tiers or classes of access dependent on wealth: from boarding an airplane to the legroom and food inside it; from access to sports events to access to uncongested highway lanes; from who obtains family leave in a corporation to who obtains an MRI authorized by their health insurance; from how quickly you can renew a passport, get on to the rides at Disney World, or get your offspring into rehab.32 These stratifications are written so deeply into contemporary culture that they are an essential part of branding: the lousiest motel chains have “premier lounges,” and “upgrade” is a ubiquitous term in every industry and service. The more of public life that is privatized—national parks, education, roads, emergency, schools, and other city services—the more this inequality heaps up the have-nots into crowded underserved piles of misery while offering the haves (the top 30 percent, not the top 1 percent) every possible way to buy their way out of crowding, waiting, and suffering.
