This timely book explores the neglected risk in the advent of the
Covid-19 pandemic, illustrating the ways in which four decades of
neoliberal economic and public policy has eroded the functional
capacity of states to handle catastrophic events. Challenging the
very heart of modern nation-states, Imad Moosa comprehensively
demonstrates how the pandemic has shed light on existing structural
problems that have been ignored by neoliberal governments and
policy-makers. The author highlights the implications of the
pandemic for democracy, militarism and international relations, as
well as its impact on healthcare, inequality, human rights, poverty
and homelessness. Drawing on theoretical insights and empirical
evidence, Moosa emphasises the importance of sustained government
intervention in economic activity at a time in which the free
market doctrine has failed to restore equilibrium and deliver
prosperity after an international financial shock. A radical and
decisive intervention in contemporary economic thought, this book
is crucial reading for scholars and researchers in economics and
political science, particularly those focusing on the fallout of
the Covid-19 pandemic and global economic recovery. The book's
empirical insights and key policy recommendations will also benefit
policy-makers in public health and economics.
