We have summarized here the essential of this book by the author. THE STATE IN THE CRISIS. DEMOCRACY, LEGITIMACY AND FINANCIAL CRISISTHE MAIN CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CURRENT CRISIS IS ITS DURATION: inflation that goes up and down, rates that go up and down, production that goes up and down, paint the picture of a situation of equilibrium in chaos. What is notable is that the democratization processes that began in the 1980s are still going on, accompanied by an ever-increasing concentration of income and social fragmentation, weak social mobility and a financial crisis.
DEMOCRACY, defined very loosely as "several parties, election of rulers and a small number of political prisoners", LIVES WITH FORMS OF LEGITIMATION FROM THE PAST.
