This volume compiles five papers examining the impact of neoliberal economics on the emergence and aftermath of Ebola. Neoliberalism, the dominant global economic philosophy, emphasizes laissez-faire economics for multinational corporations, free trade, deregulation, and prioritizing private property over state expenditures. The multidisciplinary teams analyze both the Ebola Makona variant, which has infected 28,000 in West Africa, and the emerging Ebola Reston in industrial hog farms in the Philippines and China, using a multi-plank modeling framework. They employ a stochastic extinction model, spatializing environmental stochasticity as a form of ecosystemic prophylaxis. An agroecological logic gate is introduced for epidemic control, while a Black-Scholes model connects economic margins in agriculture to biocontrol success. The research further explores pandemic penetrance, investigating how serious outbreaks can trigger cascading disasters. The models are contextualized by the socioeconomic geographies of outbreak locations, revealing that neoliberal-driven shifts in regional agroeconomics lead to deforestation and monoculture, undermining the ecological barriers that typically limit Ebola transmission. This ecological collapse accelerates pathogen spillover among host populations. Current control efforts may fail if they do not consider these structural contexts, potentially rendering effective vaccines ineffective. The a
