“…To take another example, in the global North, the stagnation in wages and decline in labour's income share — an effect of capital's increasing dominance over labour within its ‘internal’ sphere — have wrecked the possibilities of sustained increase in household consumption over time (Callari, 2010; Resnick and Wolff, 2010; Wolff, 2005). Such increases in consumption, which have been a hallmark of metropolitan capitalism, were achieved through a combination of factors, including increasing productivity of labour and rising rates of exploitation (ibid.…”

“…Even as the process of ‘Walmartization’ has opened up the possibility of importing cheap wage goods to maintain the consumption levels of workers with stagnant or declining income, this has not been sufficient to stall or reverse the intensifying conditions of precarity. This has set a new ‘normal’ of lower levels of consumption and lower value of labour power (Callari, 2010), together with increasing dependence on informal wage work, including gig work as well as unwaged work — signifying a dispersion of capital to its ‘outside’ — for economic survival (Woodcock and Graham, 2019). These shifts have also increasingly undermined the household's ability to effectively play its role in the process of social reproduction, thereby bringing about a general ‘crisis of care’ (Fraser, 2017), or its role in ‘normalizing’ conditions of capital's hegemony and dominance in the social formation (Wolff, 2005).…”

The severe economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global working population can be interpreted as both a fallout from, and a violent assertion of, a larger crisis in the world of work. While this crisis has been attributed to the pre-existing conditions of widespread informality and precarity in the domain of remunerative work, the authors of this article dig deeper to read these conditions and the crisis tendencies as articulations of certain key contradictions that define the world of work in the present conjuncture of global capitalism. The article highlights three specific contradictions: that between capital and labour in the 'interior' space of capital; that between capital and its 'outside'; and those emerging from 'dispersion' of the circuit of capital to its 'outside'. The 'outside' is the economic space that exists within the capitalist social formation but represents the domain of unwaged work carried out in the processes of non-capitalist production and distribution, both within and outside the space of the household. The authors argue that the expanded reproduction of capital has sharpened this triad of contradictions in the present conjuncture in specific ways in the global South and the global North through continuous informalization of work, exclusion of masses of population from the 'interior' domain of capital, and insistent dispersion of the circuit of capital to its 'outside' through various forms of 'non-standard' labour processes and work arrangements. The article provides some illustrations of how these processes have registered and contributed to the crisis situation in the times of the pandemic. PANDEMIC, CRISIS AND CONDITIONS OF INFORMALITYThe expression 'crisis' is often used in popular discourse and scholarly imaginations to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the All authors have contributed equally to this work. We thank the editor of this Forum issue and the anonymous reviewers for their comments and suggestions on various drafts of the article.

New energy vehicles have received extensive attention from consumers in today's society. In recent years, the strong rise of pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles has brought considerable changes to the entire automotive market. This research mainly focuses on the theme of new energy vehicles and explores the competitive advantages and challenges of new energy vehicles for traditional vehicles from both market and environmental perspectives. This research adopts the method of secondary research, collects data and information from websites, books, journals and academic papers, uses quantitative analysis to analyze the sales and share of new energy vehicles in the global and Chinese markets, and explores the impact of new energy vehicles on the traditional Challenges and impacts of automotive-related industries, exploring the impact of new energy vehicles on the environment and energy, and our results shows that the competitive advantages of new energy vehicles mainly lie in: energy saving and environmental protection, government policy support, and future trends.
