Praise
“In The Rest and the West, Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson extend, enrich, and deepen their programmatic project—to marshal new ways of not just comprehending but engaging the geopolitical dynamics of contemporary capitalism. Expansive and incisive in equal measure, the book works with an expansive conception of extractive, variegated capitalism to explore the fractured but interconnected worlds of infrastructural and financial power, pandemic and war, state transformation and social reproduction … and not together but in combination. A signal achievement.”
—Jamie Peck, author of Variegated Economics
“Conjunctural analysis has rarely been so urgent or so elusive. In this timely new book, Brett Neilson and Sandro Mezzadra take the full measure of a foundering Western hegemony, while avoiding well-worn narratives of civilizational decline. Amidst all the talk of reshoring and renationalization, they distil a picture of current geopolitical tectonics that is as nuanced as it is lucid.”
—Melinda Cooper, author of Counterrevolution: Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance
“What is old and what is new in the world system since the global pandemic? Impatient with pieties and distortions, Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson survey the categories used by Left and Right and unfold their own map of the present moment thick with operative spaces, infrastructural power, and a variable geometry of oppositional politics.”
—Quinn Slobodian, author of Crack-Up Capitalism
“The Rest and the West by Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson sharply captures the world’s emergent war regimes by analyzing a broader militarization of politics and economy rooted in contemporary capitalism’s logistics, finance, and infrastructural logic. This is a must-read book to understand the relationship between war and capital and its potential for disruption and emancipatory politics.”
—Pun Ngai, author of Made in China: Women Factory Workers in a Global Workplace
