Necrocapitalism as the Exploitation of Established Death Worlds

Resumo

track 9. Responsabilidade Social e Sustentabilidade

Neoliberalism granted an significant power to companies and shifted the societies mind to change our values. This study revises Neoliberalist concepts and Necrocapitalism theories to understand some behaviors in the Brazilian society during the Covid-19 pandemic. For that, I analyze practices in three layers of society – the government, the market and the people – to show how the Necrocapitalist mindset presents itself on the diverse spheres of society and without the need to create those death worlds.
