In this book, which reviews the entire arc of life and intellectual work
by Immanuel Wallerstein, the author presents the theoretical protocols
and epistemological of his analysis of the modern world-system and of the
economy-capitalist world offering an incredible wealth of perspectives
on the operation of economic exploitation processes,
of political-state structuring and fracturing around
to the variables of race, nation, class, ethnicity and gender.
All this is crucial to understand what the guidelines have been
of behavior of historical capitalism and what are the hypotheses
epistemic essential for the current movements of
global resistance design a political practice at the height of complexity
of the system and of the wealth sedimented by the previous waves
of anti-systemic struggle.
In this sense, the reduction of the complexity of historical capitalism
and of the social structure that is the object of revolutionary practice
it constitutes an asymptotic process regarding sophistication and effectiveness
of the struggles. On the other hand, the construction of the theoretical object
"Capitalism" is the dialectical product of the highest degree of reflexivity
of radical political practice in pursuit of a more egalitarian system
and democratic. Epistemological issues addressed point
paths of analysis of great interest to guide radical political practice
in the current phase of systemic chaos and bifurcation of the system, which
opens a period of extraordinary political and transformative potential
for the new antisystemic movements.
