Zombie Capitalism
View through CrossRef
The zombie terror evokes the devastating impact of the economic crisis and the capitalist debt economy. The debt economy, like the zombie, is experienced as ubiquitous, ruinous, and capable of producing economic refugees the world over. Zombie media capture and contain audience outrage, fear, and anxiety about capitalism in crisis while they imagine the destructiveness of capitalism through debt, indebtedness, and forms of indentured servitude. These stories are replete with contradictions. They are about the end of a system and the destruction of a way of life based in capitalism. The zombie captures a social mood about the persistence of debt--the global proliferation of debt as a viral contagion that threatens the complete annihilation of humanity.
