Moran explains how the life insurance industry in Japan exploited its association with mutuality and community to commodify and govern lives. Life insurance in Japan offers an important vehicle for examining the confluence of modes of mobilizing and organizing bodies, the expropriation of financial resources, and the action of disciplining workers into a capitalist system.
