NEOLIBERALIZAM I COVID-19 / NEOLIBERALISM AND COVID 19

O POLITIČKOEKONOMSKIM DIMENZIJAMA KRIZE / ON POLITICAL AND ECONOMICAL CONSEQUENCES OF CRISIS

Abstract

In this paper, I will explicate neoliberal contribution to human suffering of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I will give an explanation about connections of modernisation process with social uncertanities and creation of world risk society. I will connect neoliberal capitalist paradigm with basic mechanisms of social uncertanity, showing the modes which contribute to interests of global capital. Exploatation of risk and profiting on human tragedies are one of the ways of capital reproduction, and I will connect that with political and economic practices during the COVID-19 crisis. Above all, I want to show how the commercialization of society neglects basic human welfare and that the domination of ideology of globalism doesn’t have any intentions to make global society more stable place, because it doesn’t know any efficient, on collective wellbeing directed, mechanisms of leading global processes.
