Reviews

'A searching enquiry, keyed to our age of pandemics and climate catastrophe, and an exemplary application of insights from Marxist Social Reproduction Theory' -- Gareth Dale, author of Reconstructing Karl Polanyi (Pluto, 2016) 'Tells a fascinating and insightful tale of how the state, increasingly unable and unwilling to care for its citizens, came to depend on community survival projects in the face of disaster' -- Joshua Clover, author of Riot. Strike. Riot. (Verso, 2016)
