Introduction: security under capitalism -- Productive labor -- Dispossession -- Exploitation -- The security Commodity -- Security is hegemony -- The productivity of security -- Conclusions: security after capitalism.
Security has become the pre-eminent organising principle of modern life, inextricably bound up with capital accumulation and Empire. This is the first sociological treatise on the security-industrial complex, offering a general theory of security based on a critical engagement with the works of Marx and Foucault.
