Available Open Access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND license. In Capitalism Reloaded, Peter Bloom charts a pivotal shift from the well-known military-industrial complex to a new ‘Authoritarian-Financial Complex’. Unlike its predecessor, which centred on armaments and defence, this emerging power structure fuses financial interests with advanced surveillance and digital control, turning social repression into a lucrative industry. Bloom introduces a ground breaking theory of ‘complex power', where control itself becomes a central driver of capitalism, shaping economies and societies. Bloom explores how this insatiable demand for security and profit extends beyond traditional authoritarian regimes, permeating everyday life and eroding democratic freedoms. This book challenges readers to confront the deep entanglements of modern capitalism before they solidify into a techno-authoritarian order.

Recensioner i media

“Capitalism Reloaded is a scathing indictment of the multiple ways financial power and authoritarian governance are intertwined. In this urgently needed book, Peter Bloom masterfully dissects the toxic core of capitalism - control, securitization, and financialization - exposing them as the dreadful combo behind the ever-expanding thirst for profit maximization. This must-read depicts the transformation of the military-industrial complex that moved beyond the supply of military hardware to become a key surveillance-industrial wing of contemporary capitalism. Capitalism Reloaded is a powerful wake-up call, laying bare the dark systemic forces we must confront before we can even begin to talk seriously about democracy.” Juan Grigera, Kings College London
