Crisis States: Governance, Resistance & Precarious Capitalism

More about the book

Focusing on the nature of contemporary crises, this work explores how crises are integral to neoliberal austerity regimes rather than mere accidents. Jeff Shantz examines the manufactured crises that arise under these conditions, highlighting their role as tools for state and capital in maintaining control and exploitation. Drawing from anarchism and autonomous Marxism, the book also addresses social resistance within these crisis states, emphasizing the duality of precariousness that both oppresses and offers avenues for challenging the system.
