“…This manifests in advanced capitalist economies as deindustrialisation, with the pace of job creation lagging behind that of job destruction, jobless recoveries after recessions, high structural unemployment, persistent underemployment, and falling labour shares of income. In developing economies, 'premature' deindustrialisation, the worsening impacts of ecological degradation, expulsions from non-capitalist livelihoods, and other forms of dispossession have led to the increasing integration of impoverished populations into capitalist social relations not as wage labourers, but as consumers and debtors, swelling the ranks of surplus populations and amplifying forms of displacement and migratory flows (Bernards and Soederberg, 2021). Across the North/South divide, disciplining and governing these populations rendered surplus, particularly in contexts of enduring austerity, has involved transformations in state power, from aggressive border militarisation, the development of systems of mass surveillance, incarceration and social control, the criminalisation and brutal repression of social movements, to the suspension of the rule of law and civil liberties.…”
