Crisis and contagion : conversations on capitalism and Covid-19 / Ian McKay. by McKay, Ian, 1953- Between the Lines, 2023. Call #: 330.9052 M153c Subjects COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020 -- Economic aspects.   COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020 -- Social aspects.   Capitalism -- History -- 21st century.   Economic history -- 21st century.   Income distribution -- History -- 21st century.   Equality -- History -- 21st century.   Social conflict -- History -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781771136396 (pbk) Description:  311 p. ; 23 cm. Notes:  Interviews previously published in Syndemic Magazine. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Crisis and Contagion is a selection of fourteen interviews conducted by Ian McKay of the Wilson Institute at McMaster University. Interviews with Nancy Fraser, Mike Davis, Mack Penner, Andreas Malm, and Merrill Singer explore capitalism’s organic crisis and the ways it has made this and future pandemics inevitable. Nora Loreto, Tithi Bhattacharya, Chandrima Chakraborty, Merlin Chowkwanyun, and Sanjay Nepal discuss the experiences of ordinary people in the pandemic. J. Michael Ryan, Laura Spinney, Naomi Klein, and Noam Chomsky explore the long-term effects and likely historical legacy of a pandemic that has changed millions of lives -- and, maybe, the trajectory of human civilization. These scholars propose that to understand the impact of Covid-19, we have to understand the conflictual history of capitalism -- and to ward off future pandemics, we need to start building a post-capitalist alternative to the disease-generating and highly unequal global neoliberal order. As capitalist forces work to shove what we have learned from the Covid-19 pandemic down the memory hole, Crisis and Contagion offers a must-read for those wanting to seize this moment of change and revolution."--Publisher.
