The crisis, the State, and the mistakes of political administration in contemporary capitalism
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper aims to promote a broad discussion of the crisis incontemporary capitalism. Besides debating, in the theoretical field, interpretations of the crisis, with the purpose of introducing our perspectives, it also seeks to discuss in a more structural way the State’s role in this crisis and how central and functional it has been in the political administration of finance capitalism, with strong implications for the ongoing process of what we call social deconstruction of property. Moreover, a part of the analysis is devoted to Brazil, as the country is, in a way, inserted in the production process, and plays a major role in the global arena. In the end, some considerations about our prospects are drawn. If what we are doing does not matter to most people, and there is a need for change, we are also not prepared to propose or provide changes by a revolutionary way – as is proposed by David Harvey; thus, the construction of a project for our future may be the most appropriate solution at the moment.
