Excellent- More about Buen Vivir and the Challenges to Capitalism in Latin America
This book explores the challenges to neoliberal capitalist development in Latin America and the innovative community-driven buen vivir/vivir bien initiatives that offer alternatives. It provides a retrospective analysis of resource-seeking extractive capital and focuses on the indigenous notion of buen vivir/vivir bien as a way to move beyond development towards a more inclusive form of postdevelopment.

This book delves into the intricate interplay between neoliberal capitalist development processes in Latin America and the formidable challenges posed by innovative community-driven initiatives known as buen vivir/vivir bien. As the world navigates a complex terrain of global capitalist development, Latin America finds itself caught between left-leaning proposals for progressive policies aimed at fostering a more inclusive form of growth and the resurgence of harsh austerity measures, neoliberal reforms, and right-wing populism. Divided into two parts, this comprehensive work offers a retrospective analysis of the rise of resource-seeking "extractive capital" across the continent since the 1990s. The second part delves into forward-looking challenges to neoliberal capitalist development, with a particular focus on the indigenous notion of buen vivir/vivir bien, which encompasses the concept of "living well in social solidarity and harmony with nature." Drawing upon cases in Mexico and Venezuela, the book makes a compelling argument that these innovative approaches to social change hold the key to moving beyond the traditional concept of development towards a more inclusive and sustainable form of "postdevelopment."
In the face of these pressing challenges, this collection serves as an essential analysis of the ongoing social transformation sweeping through Latin America. It is a valuable resource for advanced scholars and researchers in the fields of Development Studies, Latin America Studies, Politics, and Social Change, providing valuable insights and perspectives on the complex dynamics shaping this region.
As we look forward to a future of development that is more inclusive, sustainable, and equitable, this book offers a beacon of hope and inspiration. It reminds us that there are alternative paths forward, and that by working together and embracing innovative ideas, we can create a better world for all.
