The book explores the concept of "zone" capitalism, where certain geographic areas operate under distinct economic rules to attract global capital. It examines how these zones, such as special economic zones and free ports, function as experimental spaces for neoliberal policies, often bypassing national regulations and democratic oversight. The author delves into the historical development and political implications of these zones, arguing that they represent a fragmented form of capitalism that challenges traditional notions of state sovereignty and governance. Through case studies and analysis, the book highlights the impact of these zones on global economic inequality and the shifting dynamics of power in the modern world.
