Abstract: The book entitled "The Death of Epidemiologists: Capital Expansion and the Origin of Covid19" has a total of 258 pages with very dense content and many sources of writing. This book was written by Rob Wallace in 2020, then translated by A. Faricha Mantika, and published by Independent Publishers the following year. Rob Wallace is an evolutionary biologist and public health phylogeography currently working as a researcher at the Institute for Global Studies at the University of Minnesota. Rob Wallace is also the author of Big Farms Make Big Flu, Dead Epidemiologist, and the soon-to-be-published Revolution Space, all three published by the Monthly Review Press. Based on the table of contents, the book contains 12 chapters, two of which are chapters 1 and 4 containing interviews conducted by Rob Wallace. The purpose of writing the book is an attempt by the author to answer the main question, namely, how did the origin of covid-19? Furthermore, the writing of this book also aims to describe how the economic system causes the death of epidemiologists. Why is the denial and justification of the virus their way of the ruling class to exist? And why is it impossible for the ruling class to play a role in stopping this radical change and the virus? Therefore, the purpose of writing the book is to explain how the origin of the covid-19 virus and how epidemiologists submit and die by the expansion of capital belonging to the ruling class, as well as explain the political tools of "justification and denial" by the ruling class to maintain the status quo.
