Abstract

The article focuses on examining how the financialization and marketization of healthcare infrastructures, specifically through the case of Slotervaart Hospital in Amsterdam, Netherlands, contributed to its bankruptcy and left it unprepared for a pandemic. Topics discussed include the intersection of Social Reproduction Theory and financialization, the impact of financialization on healthcare provision, and the shift towards market efficiency in healthcare management.
