Political structures: democracy; Economic systems & structures; Infectious & contagious diseases

If there's one thing that we should have learned from the early years of the global pandemic, it's that the current system isn't working. Capitalism and COVID-19: Time to Make a Democratic New World Order proposes a way forward: the deepening of democracy in a post-capitalist world.

It suggests that humans should be placed back in nature and nature back in humans and argues for a global environmental movement. The book maintains that the free market should serve people and the planet

instead of people and the planet serving the free market. It argues that the state must take the lead in the transition to a post-capitalist world. A post-capitalist society should ensure planetary and peoples' well-being together with economic well-being. Economic science in its current ideological form should be revisited. Exiting capitalism requires the unity of workers of all countries.

Capitalism and COVID-19: Time to Make a Democratic New World Order calls for reimagining and recreating the best of all possible worlds for present and future generations. In the final analysis Noel Chellan predicts and maintains that capitalism too shall pass!
