Saskia Sassen's book "Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy" explores the systemic expulsions in the global economy, highlighting how economic policies and global capital movements have led to the displacement of people and the degradation of natural resources. Sassen argues that the end of the Cold War marked the beginning of a new conflict, where the global capitalist system has increasingly excluded large segments of the population from economic and social life. This process is characterized by the shrinking of economies, the expansion of global land markets, the dominance of finance, and the environmental degradation caused by corporate exploitation. The book emphasizes the growing inequality and the displacement of people, especially in the Global South, due to the expansion of multinational corporations and the privatization of public resources. Sassen also discusses the role of international financial institutions and the impact of debt on public spending, leading to the erosion of social programs and the degradation of the environment. She calls for a reorientation of national policies towards global environmental and human rights agendas, advocating for new spaces of hope and decision-making. The book concludes with a call for conceptual recognition of the spaces of the expelled, emphasizing the need for a new analytical framework to understand the complexities of the global economy.Saskia Sassen's book "Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy" explores the systemic expulsions in the global economy, highlighting how economic policies and global capital movements have led to the displacement of people and the degradation of natural resources.
