Insidious Capital, with its team of anthropologists and geographers, delves into the concept of ‘value and values’ in what could potentially be the final stage of capitalist globalisation. The book provides a global perspective on rapidly evolving social spaces that span from East to West.
It examines various struggles, including those surrounding the exploitation and valuation of labour, environmental politics, the growth of ground rent, emerging hierarchies, and the contradictions within higher education. It also explores the offshoring of ‘immaterial’ labour, the rise of the illiberal right, and the mobilisations against it.
This book presents a multifaceted view of value frontlines within an uneven, yet non-random, geography of capitalist expansion.
