The economic fallout from COVID-19 has precipitated a crisis in global supply chains. The lockdown of consumers worldwide has triggered a fall in demand that has so far led to the dismissal of up to one-third of Cambodia’s garment sector workforce. Though the pandemic is exceptional, this is a crisis rooted in the exemplary rather than extraordinary hyper-precarity of workers in global industry. Here, I argue that COVID-19 spotlights the elusive ‘dark sides’ of global production in economic geography, revealing the necrocapitalist logics of supply chains.

死灵资本网络：COVID-19和经济地理的“阴暗面”

COVID-19带来的经济影响在全球供应链中引发了危机。全世界消费者的禁闭引发了需求的下降，迄今已导致解雇了多达三分之一的柬埔寨制衣业劳动力。尽管这种流行病是特殊的，但这是一场危机，其根源在于全球行业工人的模范而不是非常规的过高风险。在这里，我认为COVID-19突出了经济地理学中全球生产的难以捉摸的“阴暗面”，揭示了供应链的死资本主义逻辑。
