Peter Bloom

Combining cutting edge theories with empirical research, this timely book offers an in-depth analysis of current platform-based radical movements to show how digital technologies revolutionise political and economic organising. This is an invaluable contribution to the emerging literature on the relationship between technology and society.

Exploring the 'authoritarian–financial complex' that shapes modern capitalism, this book unveils how neoliberalism fosters state and corporate repression in our lives. Bloom shows how financial securitisation fuels oppression by exploiting social inequalities. This is must-read on capitalism's drive for profit and authoritarian power.
