This open access book provides a comprehensive analysis of the
socioeconomic determinants of Covid-19. From the end of 2019 until
presently, the world has been ravaged by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Although the cause of this is (obviously) a virus, the extent to
which this virus spread, and therefore the number of infections and
deaths, was largely determined by socio-economic factors. From
this, it follows that the course of the pandemic varies greatly
from one country to another. This observation applies both to
countries' resilience to such a pandemic (which is mainly rooted in
the period preceding the outbreak of the virus) and to the way in
which countries have reacted to the virus (including the political
choices on how to respond). Meanwhile, research has made it clear
that the nature of this response (e.g., elimination policy,
mitigation policy, and proceeding herd immunity) was, on the one
hand, strongly determined by political and ideological factors and,
on the other hand, was highly influential in the factors of success
or failure in combating the pandemic.The book focuses on the
situation in a number of Western regions (notably the USA, the UK,
and the EU and its Member States). The author addresses the reasons
why in many Western countries both pandemic prevention and response
policies to Covid-19 have failed. The book concludes with
recommendations concerning the rearrangement of the socio-economic
order that could increase the resilience of (Western) societies
against such pandemics.
