Insidious Capital

Frontlines of Value at the End of a Global Cycle

340 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

With a team of anthropologists and geographers, Insidious Capital explores "value and values" in what may well be the last phase of capitalist globalization. In a global perspective of fast transforming social spaces that move from East to West, the book explores the struggles around the exploitation and valuation of labor, environmental politics, expansion of the ground rent, new hierarchies, the contradictions of higher education, the off shoring of "immaterial" labor, the illiberal right, and the mobilizations against it. This is a book about the variegated frontlines of value within an uneven, but not random, geography of capitalist expansion.
