Krátky popis
In this fiery, theoretical tour de force, Beatrice Adler-Bolton and
Artie Vierkant offer an overview of life and death under capitalism
and argue for a new global left politics aimed at severing the ties
between capital and one of its primary tools: health. Written by
co-hosts of the hit ",Death Panel", podcast and longtime disability
justice and healthcare activists Adler-Bolton and Vierkant, Health
Communism first examines how capital has instrumentalized health,
disability, madness, and illness to create a class seen as
",surplus,", regarded as a fiscal and social burden. Demarcating
the healthy from the surplus, the worker from the ",unfit", to
work, the authors argue, serves not only to undermine solidarity
but to mark whole populations for extraction by the industries that
have emerged to manage and contain this ",surplus",
population.Health Communism then looks to the grave threat capital
poses to global public health, and at the rare movements around the
world that have successfully challenged the extractive economy of
health. Ultimately, Adler-Bolton and Vierkant argue, we will not
succeed in defeating capitalism until we sever health from capital.
To do this will require a radical new politics of solidarity that
centers the surplus, built on an understanding that we must not
base the value of human life on one's willingness or ability to be
productive within the current political economy.Capital, it turns
out, only fears health.
