He suggests that the result of this progressive trend may not be mass unemployment, but rather the extreme flexibilization of labor, the individualization of the workforce, and, consequently, a highly segmented social structure.

The refined analyses presented show that much more than an economic collapse, democracy itself as a political model is collapsing. The crisis and its effects speak to the causes of this historic moment and show that the world may be close to the emergence of a new economic and institutional system. \"The three organizers of the collection delve deeper into their understanding of the amalgam that resulted in 'global informational capitalism' and the reasons for its crises, which incite waves of protest. The empowerment of financial capitalism networks, created thanks to advances in information technology, the very organization of contemporary sociability into networks, and a love of innovation and freedom create the dominant corporate system and, contradictorily, turn against it,\" states Fernando Henrique Cardoso. The Crisis and Its Effects examines the cultures and institutions that are at the root of the crisis, as well as the conflicts and debates that may lead to a new social landscape, including the rise of alternative economic cultures in social movements that have emerged around the world. The result of a reflection project shared by a group of international sociologists and social scientists, led by Manuel Castells, João Caraça, and Gustavo Cardoso, this collection of essays shows that facing life beyond the crisis requires a complete transformation of the mindset that has led to bankruptcy, despair, and economies and societies based on an unsustainable model of financial speculation and political irresponsibility.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159851778300,"sku":"9788577532599","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/be957e300040b06ddf98657914972b94.jpg?v=1778326001"},{"product_id":"o-poder-da-comunicacao","title":"The power of communication","description":"\"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Power of Communication\u003c\/em\u003e offers a captivating reflection on communication and power in the 21st century.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eDrawing on a broad spectrum of social and psychological theories, Manuel Castells further develops his renowned analysis of the network society by examining how power relationships of all kinds have been profoundly changed by the new communications environment—and, in particular, by what he calls mass self-communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Castells presents original research on political processes and social movements, including the misleading information conveyed to the American public about the War.\u003cbr\u003e Iraq, the global environmental movement to prevent climate change, the control of information in China and Russia, and online election campaigns, such as Obama's in the United States.

This revised and expanded edition includes a new preface by the author on the processes of global social change induced by the transition from the old industrial society to the emerging global network society. This book presents a study of the collapse of the Soviet Union, attributing its demise to the inability of industrial statism to lead the country's transition to the information age. The volume also highlights the growth of inequality, polarization, and social exclusion worldwide, taking Africa as examples, urban poverty, and the various forms of child exploitation. Furthermore, Manuel Castells analyzes the globalization of organized crime, which profoundly affects the economies and politics of several countries. It assesses the political and cultural foundations of the emergence of the Asia-Pacific as the most dynamic region of the global economy and reflects on the contradictions of European unification, proposing the concept of the network state. In the overall conclusion of the trilogy, included in this volume, Castells ties together the threads of his arguments and findings, presenting a systematic interpretation of our world at the turn of the millennium.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175880147196,"sku":"9788577533824","price":129.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/41825ac00449391e81099f40d83193ed.jpg?v=1778311110"},{"product_id":"sociedade-digital","title":"Sociedade digital","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManuel Castells, um dos maiores cientistas sociais da atualidade, analisa como a tecnologia e a transformação digital reconfiguram as relações humanas, a economia global e o até mesmo o poder político. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\\n\u003cp\u003eEm\u003cem\u003e Sociedade digital \u003c\/em\u003eo renomado professor Manuel Castells se baseia em décadas de pesquisas acadêmicas e em análises empíricas rigorosas e atualizadas para examinar as consequências sociais, econômicas, culturais e políticas que a digitalização tem exercido sobre diversas áreas da vida.\u003c\/p\u003e\\n\u003cp\u003eNesta obra, o autor investiga temas como comunicação em rede, vigilância estatal e privacidade, mercados financeiros, estrutura espacial das cidades, educação e o impacto das \u003cem\u003ebig techs\u003c\/em\u003e e das redes sociais na sociedade.
