Currently it is fashionable to talk about digitisation, robotisation, industry 4.0, but also about the gig economy, the Millenials, precarisation and the like. However, the relevant issues are too often taken in isolation, referring to an extrapolation of overcome structures. The present collection aims on moving further by qualifying some aspects, and also by approaching the topic from distinct perspectives in order to arrive at an assessment of emerging changes of the socio-economic formation.

Peter Herrmann's book 'Pandemics as Matter of a System Crisis' explores the multifaceted impact of the COVID-19 pandemic within biological, medical, social, and political contexts. The author argues that the pandemic crisis reveals a deeper systemic crisis within societies, characterized by social insecurity, precarity, and disaffiliation. Herrmann emphasizes the concept of a 'political virus,' highlighting how political systems have become precarious, affecting citizens' well-being beyond medical implications. The book provides a critical analysis of the pandemic, examining its effects on the welfare state and societal structures, particularly in Germany. It aims to offer a holistic understanding of the pandemic as an extreme situation that underscores ongoing systemic issues. Intended for scholars and students in social sciences, the text encourages a deeper reflection on the relationship between individuals and society, urging readers to consider the political and social implications of pandemics.
