Summary Of "Unique Thought And Political Resignation" By Atilio Borón - UNIVERSITY SUMMARIES - E-book - ePub

We have summarized the essential of this book by the author."UNIQUE THOUGHT" AND POLITICAL RESIGNATION: THE LIMITS OF A FALSE EXCUSE1. Globalization: reality and fictionAccording to the ideologues of neoliberalism, globalization is an unprecedented phenomenon that put an end to all economic models that in one way or another gave the State an intervention role in the economy (Keynesianism, developmentalism, State socialism, etc.) and that left the market economy as the only possibility.
According to Borón, GLOBALIZATION IS AS OLD AS THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA: the indigenous peoples exploited and murdered by the colonizers suffered from the global character of capitalism, an economic system in which modern wage-earning forms of production can coexist for centuries with slavery and servitude. There is no reason to think that the current globalizing wave does not produce such devastating effects as the previous ones.
