The Economization of Life

The Economization of Life is a thought-provoking book that traces the rise of infrastructures of calculation and experiment aimed at governing population for the sake of national economy. Author Michelle Murphy delves into the history of postcolonial neoliberal techniques and how they led to the devaluation of certain lives. Through a powerful archive of data, Murphy challenges readers to rethink how we view the economy and population as a term of reproductive justice.
