Exceso de muerte: De la peste de Atenas a la covid-19

Abstract

Bartra speaks in this work of a panorama in which crises prevail; economic, social, environmental and health, in the face of pandemics and viruses that consequently enhance other social evils such as poverty, social inequality, exclusion, and vulnerability to illness and death. This book describes a cycle of crises that feed off each other, and that has disrupted the social order in multiple aspects that have to do with the health, education and labor system. These are structural crises that have historically contributed to increasing the degrees of social inequality.
