La crisis del capitalismo y la periferia

Abstract

Today we are witnessing not only the crisis of capitalism, this process is accompanied by a crisis of ideologies, a serious crisis of conventional theories that do not allow us to correctly interpret the reality of events. We hold that the crisis of capitalism is a structural crisis that manifests itself at its very center: the United States. However, when we speak of the crisis of capitalism in the centers, we are not affirming in any way that it is a phenomenon of the decline of capitalism. We maintain that capitalism, by its own dynamics, has overflowed its boundaries, has gotten out of hand and there is nothing in the system, in the spontaneous functioning of the system, which can channel this phenomenon, a matter that has profound consequences.
