Digital capitalism and social inequality in Brazil

the eternal return

Abstract

Global capitalist society has been experiencing transformations determined, on the one hand, by the structural crisis of capital that has been developing since the end of the last century in the form of economic crisis, environmental crisis, crisis in social relations (employment) and even crisis. of legitimacy; and on the other hand, by the impulses caused by technological revolutions that advance to their fourth phase (grundissization), in the context of a phase of deglobalization of capitalism and significant changes in international relations with the emergence of Eurasia and the BRICS countries, in a new multipolar and post-pandemic context. The objective of this paper is to contribute to the debate on the contradictions of this process in relation to the structural crisis and its impact on poverty and social inequality.
