520 |a "As the world becomes more unequal, people become more "disposable". Governments systematically exclude sections of their populations from society through police brutality. But it doesn't always go to plan. William I. Robinson exposes the dynamics of this turbulent system, arguing for the creation of a movement capable of overthrowing it. The global police state uses a variety of methods of control, including mass incarceration, surveillance, police violence, US-led wars, the persecution of immigrants and refugees and the repression of activists. Robinson shows how the global police state, beyond control, is an immensely profitable enterprise that keeps the global captialist economy afloat in the face of chronic stagnation. Using shocking data which reveals how far capitalism has become a system of repression, Robinson argues that the emerging megacities of the world are becoming the battlegrounds where the excluded and the oppressed face off agains the global police state."--Back cover
