This book offers an analysis of the causes, development, and likely
consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic for global neoliberalism. The
analysis will draw upon the author's previous work on
neoliberalism, and on its twin crises: the economic crisis (the
Global Financial Crisis (GFC), ongoing since 2007) and,
subsequently, the crisis of political democracy that has been
associated with the rise of 'spectacular' authoritarian leaders in
several countries. The approach is grounded on Marxist political
economy. The book argues that the Covid-19 pandemic emerges out of
this context of deep inequalities and crises in the economy and in
politics, and it is likely to reinforce the exclusionary tendencies
of neoliberalism, with detrimental implications both for economic
prosperity and for democracy. In turn, the pandemic has revealed
the limitations of neoliberalism like never before, with
implications for the legitimacy of capitalism itself, and opening
unprecedented spaces for the left. This book will be of interest to
academics in economics, international relations, political science,
political economy, sociology and development studies.
