A clear and harsh critique of the economy of the 21st century. Increasing inequality, stark income disparities, refugees, land destruction, water scarcity: the current upheavals in the globalized world can no longer be understood with the usual concepts of poverty and injustice. In her new book, renowned sociologist Saskia Sassen suggests that these issues should be understood much better as exclusions: from the labor market, from living spaces, from the biosphere. Only this common perspective allows for a lucid political analysis that reveals the fundamental logic and connection of these seemingly separate effects.
