Abstract

The social sciences analyze the challenges posed by COVID-19 by integrating them into the dynamics of our societies. With the hindsight that characterizes them, these sciences are particularly suited to understanding the social, economic and political dynamics of an illness which, for some, has the characteristics of the devil, and for others, those of a common flu. . This book unpacks how individuals, organizations and communities are coping, suffering and responding to COVID-19.
