Capital and pandemic (Spoleto, Italy, May 29, 2021)

A year and a half after entering into a ”state of reanimation”, the world’s economic power has not yet been able to emerge from the violent crisis that erupted with the spread of Covid-19. On the contrary, in perfect confusional state, the more the crisis worsens, the more its courtiers preach of wonderful news in store for the near future. The magnificent and progressive destinies of science promise a totally renewed world, a humanity freed from fatigue and disease.
Behind this miraculous delusion, however, lies another reality: ecological destruction, physical and moral poverty, exploitation; a process inaugurated by the prison massacre of March 2020. The economic transition is accompanied by a change in the features of the state. An authoritarian turn of events that is transforming the new democracies into the kind of society that – from the vaccine passport to the curfew, from social distancing to the virtual network – we are just beginning to glimpse.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS ON SATURDAY, MAY 29th, AT 5 P.M.
