Les chocs de 2020 ont bouleversé l’économie mondiale, les relations internationales et la vie quotidienne de l’humanité. Jamais auparavant l’ensemble de l’économie ne s’était contracté de 20 % en l’espace de quelques semaines et jamais, dans l’histoire du capitalisme moderne, 95 % des économies mondiales n’avaient souffert en même temps. Partout, des centaines de millions de personnes ont été mises à l’arrêt. Avec, en toile de fond, le spectre de la pandémie et de la mort. Spécialiste du nazisme et des crises financières, Adam Tooze livre la première histoire immédiate de la pandémie. De l’apparition du virus en janvier 2020 à l’investiture de Joe Biden en janvier 2021, il écrit la chronique économique et géopolitique de cette crise à nulle autre pareille de l’âge néolibéral : la première crise totale de l’anthropocène.De votre hôpital le plus proche à la Banque mondiale, Adam Tooze montre comment l’organisation sociale, l’intérêt politique et la stratégie économique ont interagi avec des conséquences humaines dévastatrices. Il passe avec brio de l’impact des fluctuations monétaires à la destruction des institutions – telles que les systèmes de santé, les écoles et les services sociaux – au nom de l’efficacité.Il analyse avec lucidité ce qui s’est passé lorsque la pandémie est entrée en collision avec la politique intérieure (conférences du parti en Chine, élections américaines), les conséquences involontaires de la course au vaccin et le rôle du changement climatique.Enfin, il démontre qu’aucune déclaration unilatérale d’« indépendance » ou d’isolement ne peut désormais soustraire un pays moderne au réseau mondial des déplacements, des biens, des services et de la finance. Sachant manier avec rigueur une chronologie précise et des sources pléthoriques, Adam Tooze donne des repères historiques et livre une première synthèse, appelée à devenir une source majeure de la période, autant qu’une magistrale explication pour qui veut aujourd’hui prendre un peu de distance et mieux comprendre le monde qui vient.

C'était épouvantable. Chaque soir on lisait les chiffres des morts comme on lit un bulletin de guerre. On craignait pour la santé de nos proches et en particulier des plus faibles. On était assignés à résidence, enchaînés à son poste de travail la boule au ventre, suspendus aux nouvelles. Mais c'était beau aussi. Presque plus de voitures ni de bruit. Les chantiers fermés. Les tarmacs transformés en zone de stockage pour avions au rebut. Dans les canaux de Venise, les eaux étaient redevenues limpides, ainsi que dans la baie de Naples. La crise du coronavirus sonnera-t-elle le glas du capitalisme ? Amènera-t-elle la fin de la société industrielle et consumériste ? Certains le craignent, d'autres l'espèrent. Avec l'épidémie, un facteur de crise inattendu est apparu – l'essentiel n'est pourtant pas le virus, mais la société qui le reçoit et la lumière cruelle qu'il jette sur les coins sombres de celle-ci. La volonté qui traverse cet essai est autant de comprendre le lien entre la situation actuelle et l'épuisement structurel du capitalisme que de montrer la nécessité de tirer le frein d'urgence

What do sex doll sales, locust swarms, and a wired-brain pig have to do with the coronavirus pandemic? Everything—according to that “Giant of Lubliana,” the inimitable Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek.In this exhilarating sequel to his acclaimed Pandemic!: COVID-19 Shakes the World, Žižek delves into some of the more surprising dimensions of lockdowns, quarantines, and social distancing—and the increasingly unruly opposition to them by “response fatigued” publics around the planet.Here, Žižek examines the ripple effects on the food supply of harvest failures caused by labor shortages and the hyper-exploitation of the global class of care workers, without whose labor daily life would be impossible. Through such examples he pinpoints the inability of contemporary capitalism to effectively safeguard the public in times of crisis.Writing with characteristic daring and zeal, Žižek ranges across critical theory, pop-culture, and psychoanalysis to reveal the troubling dynamics of knowledge and power emerging in these viral times.

What might the world look like in the aftermath of COVID-19? Almost every aspect of society will change after the pandemic, but if we learn lessons then life can be better. Featuring expert authors from across academia and civil society, this book offers ideas that might put us on alternative paths for positive social change. A rapid intervention into current commentary and debate, Life After COVID-19 looks at a wide range of topical issues including the state, co-operation, work, money, travel and care. It invites us to see the pandemic as a dress rehearsal for the larger problem of climate change, and it provides an opportunity to think about what we can improve and how rapidly we can make changes.

"This volume presents a comprehensive account of the COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the novel coronavirus pandemic, as it happened. Originating in China in late 2019, the COVID-19 outbreak spread across the entire world in a matter of 3-4 months. This volume examines the first responses to the pandemic, the contexts of earlier epidemics and the epidemiological basics of infectious diseases. Further, it also discusses patterns in the spread of the disease; the management and containment of infections at the personal, national and global level; effects on trade and commerce; the social and psychological impact on people; disruption and postponement of international events; the role of various international organizations like WHO in the search for solutions; and, the race for a vaccine or the cure. Authored by a medical professional and an economist working on the frontlines, this book gives a nuanced, verified, and fact-checked analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic and its global response. A one-stop resource on the COVID-19 outbreak, it is an indispensable read for every reader, as well as a holistic work for scholars and researchers of medical sociology, public health, political economy, public policy and governance, sociology of health and medicine, para-medical and medical practitioners. It will also be a great resource for policy makers, government departments, and civil society organizations working in the area"--
