Book Estados Unidos  del auge a la crisis

Download or read book Estados Unidos del auge a la crisis written by Luis Maira and published by Fondo de Cultura Económica. This book was released on 2022-10-14 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Además de dictar numerosos cursos en universidades extranjeras sobre Estados Unidos, Luis Maira fue miembro de la delegación chilena que negoció las indemnizaciones de las empresas norteamericanas del cobre tras la nacionalización realizada durante el gobierno del presidente Salvador Allende. Luego utilizó esa experiencia en las negociaciones de paz con las que concluyó la crisis centroamericana en los 90 y el conflicto en Colombia con las FARC. Este conocimiento tan directo de Estados Unidos y América Latina se percibe en el carácter de este libro que, para examinar el desarrollo de la crisis que vive el país norteamericano, se apoya en una amplia revisión histórica y va subrayando los aspectos decisivos de la evolución de su sistema político y estrategia internacional. El lector comprenderá la sincronización entre el afianzamiento del sistema capitalista y el crecimiento de Estados Unidos, que alcanzó su punto más alto al concluir la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Esta es la época en la que este estudio se concentra: desde que dicho país transita a una posición de hegemonía indiscutida hasta la aparición de elementos disruptivos en el funcionamiento de su régimen político, de su economía y de la magnitud de su influencia internacional. Esto, a su vez, se ha acelerado desde el inicio del siglo XXI, por lo que el trabajo se detiene en la agenda de crisis que, en las administraciones Trump y Biden, han agudizado la confrontación interna e introducido más incertidumbre, en un proceso cuyos hitos Maira describe con una transparencia que jamás renuncia a la densidad.

Book Capitalism and Slavery

    Book Details:
  • Author : Eric Williams
  • Publisher : UNC Press Books
  • Release : 2014-06-30
  • ISBN : 1469619490
  • Pages : 308 pages

Download or read book Capitalism and Slavery written by Eric Williams and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slavery helped finance the Industrial Revolution in England. Plantation owners, shipbuilders, and merchants connected with the slave trade accumulated vast fortunes that established banks and heavy industry in Europe and expanded the reach of capitalism worldwide. Eric Williams advanced these powerful ideas in Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1944. Years ahead of its time, his profound critique became the foundation for studies of imperialism and economic development. Binding an economic view of history with strong moral argument, Williams's study of the role of slavery in financing the Industrial Revolution refuted traditional ideas of economic and moral progress and firmly established the centrality of the African slave trade in European economic development. He also showed that mature industrial capitalism in turn helped destroy the slave system. Establishing the exploitation of commercial capitalism and its link to racial attitudes, Williams employed a historicist vision that set the tone for future studies. In a new introduction, Colin Palmer assesses the lasting impact of Williams's groundbreaking work and analyzes the heated scholarly debates it generated when it first appeared.

Book The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a  deep  Alternative

Download or read book The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a deep Alternative written by Claudia von Werlhof and published by Beiträge zur Dissidenz. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».

Book Marx and Latin America

Download or read book Marx and Latin America written by José M. Aricó and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-12-10 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a work centred on Marx's harsh biography of Simón Bolívar, José Aricó examines why Latin America was apparently 'excluded' from Marx's thought, challenging the allegation that this expressed some 'Eurocentric' prejudice. Aricó shows how the German thinker's hostility towards the Bonapartism and authoritarianism he identified in the Liberator coloured his attitude towards the continent and the significance of its independence-processes. Whilst criticising Marx's misreading of Latin-American realities, Aricó demonstrates contemporaneous, countervailing tendencies in Marx's thought, including his appraisal of the revolutionary potentialities of other 'peripheral' extra-European societies. As such, Aricó convincingly argues that Marx's work was not a dogma of linear 'progress', but a living, contradictory body of thought constantly in development. English translation of the Marx y América Latina edition, Fondo de Cultura Económica, 2010.
