Description

George S. Rigakos' Security/Capital A General Theory of Pacification presents a radical social theory of the security-industrial complex, exploring its relationship to capitalism and the global economic system.

The author builds a conceptual model of pacification based on practices of dispossession, exploitation, and the fetish of security commodities. He argues that a defining characteristic of the global economic system is its ability to productively sell (in)security to those it makes insecure.

Through this critical appraisal, Rigakos reveals how the security-industrial complex fuels the perpetuation of the system while feeding relentlessly on the surpluses it has exacted. This thought-provoking work offers a unique perspective on the intersection of security and capitalism.
