¿Qué es el humanismo hoy? ¿Cómo puede contribuir el humanismo al siglo XXI? ¿Qué porvenir aguarda al ser humano después de la globalización, después de la inmigración, después de la multiculturalidad, del fundamentalismo religioso, del mapa del genoma y la clonación, de la muerte asistida, de la cibernética? Estas y otras cuestiones de hondo calado son las guías que han orientado las reflexiones de este libro. Humanismo para el siglo XXI es fruto de un esfuerzo interdisciplinar en el que han intervenido más de cincuenta autores. Sus propuestas han sido el punto de partida del Congreso Internacional que la Universidad de Deusto ha organizado, en marzo de 2003, para tratar el tema del humanismo en los inicios del nuevo milenio.

Capitalism in its modern form has become universal and has a presence in practically every country in the world, including those which once called themselves Communist. This book studies its effects on different labor markets, from those linked to highly tertiary economies (EU-27, USA and Japan, to the most productive economies, such as China, and on to economic models that are in full transition from secondary to tertiary economies, as is the case in several Latin American countries.

In Neoliberalism from Below—first published in Argentina in 2014—Verónica Gago examines how Latin American neoliberalism is propelled not just from above by international finance, corporations, and government, but also by the activities of migrant workers, vendors, sweatshop workers, and other marginalized groups. Using the massive illegal market La Salada in Buenos Aires as a point of departure, Gago shows how alternative economic practices, such as the sale of counterfeit goods produced in illegal textile factories, resist neoliberalism while simultaneously succumbing to its models of exploitative labor and production. Gago demonstrates how La Salada's economic dynamics mirror those found throughout urban Latin America. In so doing, she provides a new theory of neoliberalism and a nuanced view of the tense mix of calculation and freedom, obedience and resistance, individualism and community, and legality and illegality that fuels the increasingly powerful popular economies of the global South's large cities.
