O capitalismo gera desigualdades que podem destruir os valores meritocráticos sobre os quais as sociedades democráticas são edificadas. Com a mundialização do capital, o outro Leviatã (que voa) vem dando ensejo a guerras fiscais, bem como ao desemprego estrutural e a formação de um precariado, conduzindo os Estados nacionais enfraquecidos a uma corrida para o fundo do poço. O estudo que se apresenta avalia propostas de criação de tributos globais e de um fundo mundial de combate à pobreza, bem como de instituição de um fundo nacional destinado ao pagamento d renda básica que sirva para reduzir a desigualdade social interna e minimizar os efeitos perversos do capitalismo da Era da Recessão.
Farewell to Work? presents the new morphology of the working class, the substantial process of growing heterogeneity, complexity and fragmentation that labour has gone through since the 1970s.
‘Development and Semi-periphery’ presents a collection of articles that focus on comparative analysis of development trajectories in the semi-peripheral countries of South America and Central Eastern Europe. As opposed to the transitology studies that were prevalent in the 1990s, and that treated the neoliberal context in these two regions separately, the articles in this book instead offer a new comparative analysis focusing on the consequences of neoliberal reforms and the new actors that deal with their results. The essays discuss the various forms of state that have unfolded in different peripheral countries, their role in the social engineering of economic models and social policies, and the impact of state capacities and ideas on institutional innovation. The volume also compares transformations in political culture, collective identities and contentious politics in both areas.
Contrary to the affirmation of the end of labour, The Meanings of Work explore the complexity of the working class today; the sexual division of labour and transversalities between the dimensions of class and gender; globalisation of capital and labour.
