The book examines the global implications of the neoliberal crisis, particularly in Pakistan, where financialization and resource exploitation are rampant under military and bureaucratic oversight. It highlights how various interests, including property developers and mafias, have monopolized essential services, exacerbating inequality while catering to a consumerist middle class. Aasim Sajjad-Akhtar analyzes the role of digital technology in facilitating state surveillance and commodification, advocating for a new political perspective centered on a 'classless' subject as a form of resistance.
