Neoliberals denied that the scientific community could access knowledge apart from the marketplace. Such efforts gave rise to what amounted to a third skinning strategy: the science used by regulatory bodies should itself be regulated by the marketplace. Neoliberals would now actively encourage the commercialization of science; they also begin to engage in direct intervention into the conduct of science itself, thereby introducing multitudinous ways for regulated industries to harness it.
