Publisher's Synopsis
While a few do fabulously, our economic system isn't working for most of humanity. Governments have long kicked the can, rather than undertake the required investments and deliver necessary systems change. Millions have long suffered due to their inaction. The coronavirus has laid the folly plain.
Pandemic Capitalism surveys our ongoing challenges from a systems lens. It looks into the possibility offered by Universal Basic Incomes, couched in the context of the global pandemic. In this age of growing precarity, we need to look at new ways of sharing the spoils of our increasingly productive economies, while also getting production back within planetary limits. Pandemic Capitalism makes a case for a transition to a future that's more sustainable and just than the outcomes we currently endure.
