Descripción
Sumario:Under the prodigious gaze of Armando Bartra, this not-so-new book is an obligatory reference for those interested in understanding what has been called “good living,” which must be assimilated as an alternative approach to capitalist civilization, a situation of such magnitude and importance that a vision like Armando Bartra’s is essential to understand this approach and particularly from the perspective built from the current experience of Bolivia under the mandate of Evo Morales, an indigenous person who represents the exploited in that country, which shares characteristics with other Latin American peoples and other places in the third world. The book presents an analysis and foundation that is both novel and complex, an expression of the struggle of the Bolivian people and its ruler, at the beginning of the third millennium, in the construction of post-developmentalism from the proposals of good living, which are an expression of an essay of paradigmatic civilizational change, which, if achieved, accompanies an event based on ancestral cultures, the heritage of native peoples and peasants who come to the fore and show a system different from capitalism, which is distinguished from it, because it is a way of relating to nature and life and thus aims to create the conditions for survival of the human species.
