Capitalism is in a profound state of crisis. Beyond the mere
dispassionate cruelty of 'ordinary' structural violence, it appears
today as a global system bent on reckless economic revenge; its
expression found in mass incarceration, climate chaos, unpayable
debt, pharmaceutical violence and the relentless degradation of
common life. In Revenge Capitalism, Max Haiven argues that this
economic vengeance helps us explain the culture and politics of
revenge we see in society more broadly. Moving from the history of
colonialism and its continuing effects today, he examines the
opioid crisis in the US, the growth of 'surplus populations'
worldwide and unpacks the central paradigm of unpayable debts -
both as reparations owed, and as a methodology of oppression.
Revenge Capitalism offers no easy answers, but is a powerful call
to the radical imagination.
