DOWNLOAD EBOOKEn este libro se exponen cinco experiencias en otros tantos países de América Latina (Venezuela, Brasil, Uruguay, Bolivia y Ecuador) que, con diferentes trayectorias, suponen una aspiración común para construir alternativas económicas, sociales y políticas al neoliberalismo imperante. Sin duda, son muchas las diferencias se gún cada caso concreto, pero todos ellos comparten una intención explícita de salida frente a lo que el presidente de Ecuador suele denominar como la "larga noche neoliberal". A lo largo del libro, en función de una serie de parámetros comunes, se analiza el carácter y profundidad de cada una de estas experiencias en proceso, a fin de determinar las posibles divergencias entre los objetivos en cada caso y los resultados obtenidos en ellos. Los autores y autoras, Luis Buendía, Juan Pablo Mateo, Bibiana Medialdea, Ricardo Molero, María José Paz, Jaime Alberto Rendón, Antonio Sanabria, Eduardo Sánchez y Rodrigo Emmanuel Santana proceden de diversos lugares a uno y otro lado del océano Atlántico, si bien comparten formación en el Programa de Doctorado en Economía Internacional y Desarrollo de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Asimismo, aúnan una sólida formación académica con una amplia experiencia investigadora y docente. Ocultar.
Marxism Today

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEarly in the 20th century, revolutionary socialism was not only gaining momentum but appeared destined to conquer the world. By mid-century, the red flag flew over capitals in Eastern Europe, Russia, China, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Central America; by the 1970s over one-third of the world's population lived under socialist regimes. All that has changed. With the 20th century drawing to a close, the political map of the globe looks very different: most socialist states have collapsed, revolutionary movements have been abandoned, and the United States stands as the world's lone superpower. This unique volume examines these changes—the defeat of Marxism—and suggests that the present historical juncture is but a temporary setback in the march of the working class. The authors propose that Marxism remains the most useful approach in understanding and explaining contemporary capitalism and its decay, as well as the only path toward the liberation of society from class exploitation.
Neoliberalism in Multi-Disciplinary Perspective

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume brings together well-versed authors from four continents to critically discuss the roots of neoliberalism and how academics use the word today. Neoliberalism has recently recycled and mutated towards new forms of radicalization where fear plays a leading role legitimating policies, which would otherwise be overtly neglected by citizens. The authors ignite a new discussion within social sciences, combining the advances of sociology, history, anthropology, communication and the theory of mobilities to understand the different faces and guises of neoliberalism.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe author contests older concepts of autonomy as either revolutionary or ineffective vis-à-vis the state. Looking at four prominent Latin American movements, she defines autonomy as 'the art of organising hope': a tool for indigenous and non-indigenous movements to prefigure alternative realities at a time when utopia can be no longer objected.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnlike other regions around the world, several Latin American countries have managed to reduce income inequality over the last decade. Higher growth rates and growing employment, but also innovative wage policies and social programs, have contributed to reducing poverty and narrow income disparities. Yet, despite this progress, nation-states in the region demonstrate little capacity to substantially change their patterns of deeply rooted inequalities. Focusing on the limits and challenges of redistributive policies in Latin America, this volume synthesizes and updates the discussion of inequality in the region, introducing the perspective of global and transnational interdependencies. The book explores the extent to which redistributive policies have been interlinked with the provision and quality of public goods as well as with structural changes of the productive sector. Inspired by structuralist and neostructuralist thinking of Latin American economists, such as Raúl Prebisch and Celso Furtado, authors question the redistributive impact of the interplay of recent macroeconomic, fiscal and social policies, particularly under left and center-left administrations committed to greater equality. Bringing together experts in social, fiscal and macroeconomic policies to investigate the interdependent and global character of inequalities, this book will appeal to scholars of sociology, economics, development and politics with interests in Latin America, inequality and public policy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe idea of finding a 'third way' in politics has been widely discussed over recent months - not only in the UK, but in the US, Continental Europe and Latin America. But what is the third way? Supporters of the notion haven't been able to agree, and critics deny the possibility altogether. Anthony Giddens shows that developing a third way is not only a possibility but a necessity in modern politics.
