The urgency to global political life that Shirin Rai points to in the lead article of this Forum is one that is, in major part, borne of a global crisis of social reproduction. This crisis is less immediately visible than the rise of terrorism, right-wing nationalism, or military conflict, but no less harmful, violent or deadly in its effects. Where the basic means for reproducing and sustaining labor power are so severely compromised as to undercut human life, or to curtail care for human welfare that would otherwise reproduce people as physical, social, and cultural beings, then this constitutes a political urgency like no other. Rarely does this crisis occupy the minds of legislators and politicians, but the stakes are high. At the extreme, it manifests itself in the truncation of or exclusion from life itself. It is expressed in, for example, the daily tolls of 30,000 children under 5 years old who die from avoidable diseases1 and the 830 women who die of complications related to pregnancy or childbirth.2 Almost all of these deaths are attributable to the absence or inadequacy of the necessary organized social provision, services, and arrangements that underpin the right to means of social participation. Fundamentally responsible for this exclusion is “unavailable, inaccessible, unaffordable, or poor quality care” (WHO 2016). The relationship between low state investment in health care and education and higher maternal and child mortality is clear (Karlsen et al. 2011), as is the fact that most of these deaths occur in low-resource settings in “developing” countries
