Summary/Abstract: Neoliberal policies imposed by many governments on both sides of the North Atlantic, such as austerity policies (significant cuts in social policy spending, including medical care and public health services) and the privatization of healthcare services, significantly reduce the capacity of many states to respond to the Covid19 pandemic. The difficulties in containing this epidemic are considered to be closely related to the dominance of the neoliberal economic paradigm and to individualist market fundamentalism. In the study, it has been attempt to present that neoliberal policy, which eroded the social security opportunities, provided by the social state, far to respond to the problems of today's world in many ways. Considering the findings of the study, it was concluded that a new economic order should be established with a completely new and impartial perspective. Any economic policy that is implemented without securing the basic needs of the people seems doomed to fail. In order not to experience the difficulties we are in again, the new economic approach that can be created should be in a structure that can be interpreted and stretched in accordance with the realities and dynamics of each state.
