From the Great Recession to the Great Lockdown: a multidisciplinary approach
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.52195/pm.v20i1.856Abstract
During the healthcare emergency that struck the world at the end of 2019, with the excuse of slowing the contagion and “flattening the curve”, governments engaged in a set of repressive policies that, if on the economic level have had deep, negative effects on the international division of labor, supply chains and production, on a political-juridical level further emptied the substance of the little that was remaining of the western, classical-liberal heritage. In its place a new form of “oriental despotism” was instituted. These episodes are tackled from different angles and understood as part and parcel of a public policy formulation that emerged during the early 2000’s and especially with the unfolding of the Great Recession (2008-2009). The latter ended up opening a pandora’s box as emergencies, whether real or imagined, were from then on seen, not as exceptional possibilities, but as recurring necessities given the overarching goal of instituting a “permanent revolution”.
