Description

In this latest work by the prolific Mexican theorist Adrin Sotelo Valencia, the COVID-19 pandemic is shown to have merely exacerbated the profound world capitalist crisis rooted in the 1970s structural exhaustion of the third industrial revolution.

Sotelo explains how the current 4.0 revolution whose articulating axis is the development and expansion of artificial intelligence, Big Data, algorithms, 3D printing, the Internet of Things, and digital platforms, constitutes a global strategy of capital and the state aimed at delaying the global capitalist crisis. The Digital Revolution heralds a new international division of labour with severe repercussions for labour, especially in dependent countries like Mexico.

The foreword by Andrs Piqueras of the Universidad Jaume I de Castelln underlines the urgency to heed this insightful analysis.
