Book Review: Politics of Immunity: Security and the Policing of Bodies

Abstract

and the impacts of extra phase of production for further capital accumulation may be irreversible. Each additional increase in the temperature makes certain parts of the world inhabitable and will have massive repercussions. Thus, the most important takeaway point of the book is that the author proposes an eco-socialist system where the environment is protected, and capitalism does not survive under any circumstances. The author finally analyzes the dynamics of the global capitalist system in the Russia– Ukraine war. He elucidates that the Russian war is the outcome of the crisis of the global capitalist system, which will make things much worse because the war may prevail over the state legitimacy and overaccumulation of capital issues and allows the system to renew itself once again. This concise, lucid, and not very technical work illustrates how far global capitalism has gone under capital accumulation, value and financial appropriation, and digitalization. It is a well-written book to see how capitalism restructures itself into new forms but protects its essence for the last centuries and to comprehend the need for a new economic system.
