Covid, Capitalism and Class War
|
COVID, Capitalism, and Class War is the definitive scientific, social and political account of the COVID-19 pandemic, drawing on investigative reports, economic data, and extensive interviews with scientists, doctors, healthcare professionals, and workers.
A unique element are the rich accounts by workers around the world – from factories, meatpacking plants, transport and logistic centers, hospitals, and schools – of the devastating toll the uncontrolled spread of the disease has taken on themselves, their families, and their communities.
A trigger event in world history, the pandemic has intensified the crisis of world capitalism and set in motion social struggles and the outbreak of war. Class relations and geopolitical tensions have been irreversibly changed.
Since its onset in early 2020, the ruling elites have viewed the pandemic not as an issue of public health, but as an impediment to generating profit. COVID, Capitalism, and Class War demonstrates the common response of the ruling elites in virtually every country - the subordination of human lives to profit.
A welcome and courageous answer to the barrage of misinformation, the work counters the dangerous pseudo-science of "herd immunity," the disregard of long-established principles of public health, and the anti-scientific Wuhan Lab Theory.
Edited by Evan Blake, this book is the result of incisive reporting and analysis by writers and contributors from throughout the world to the World Socialist Web Site. Unparalleled in its comprehensiveness, depth of social insight, and political foresight, this is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the social and political implications of this devastating event.
