Description

Economies of Death: Economic Logics of Killable Life and Grievable Death explores the underlying economic structures that dictate whose lives and deaths are valued by society. Published by Routledge as part of the Frontiers of Political Economy series, this work examines the processes used to determine the worth of human, animal, and environmental lives. Through eight distinct case studies, the book investigates the concept of killability and grievability. It analyzes how late-modern capitalism functions by economically ordering specific lives and environments. The text looks at how certain bodies and spaces are appropriated and commodified within modern economic systems. This book provides an intersectional theory to help readers understand the economic logic behind social inequality and the valuation of life. It is a significant resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and political economy, offering a deep look into how economic systems influence the fundamental value placed on existence itself.
