Resumen
La crisis económica mundial puede ciertamente caracterizarse como una de carácter sistémico y global, conjugándose a la vez con una crisis de civilización que pone en jaque no solo al sistema económico, sino al sistema de vida. Que no se trata de una crisis cíclica más es un hecho reconocido; pero necesitamos precisar el carácter de la misma, al menos de manera inicial y preliminar. En este ensayo, apoyamos la tesis de una crisis sistémica global (o civilizatoria), pero sin dejar de advertir que los fundamentos del capitalismo también están mostrando sus límites históricos y exacerbando las amenazas globales sobre las condiciones de existencia de la vida, sin que por ello se trate, necesariamente, de una crisis terminal; y tanto las opciones capitalistas, como las poscapitalistas y las anticapitalistas están a la orden del día.
The world economic crisis can certainly be characterized as one of a systemic and global nature, combined with a crisis of civilization that threatens not only the economic system, but also the system of life. That this is not just another cyclical crisis is an acknowledged fact; but we need to specify its character, at least in an initial and preliminary way. In this essay, we support the thesis of a global systemic (or civilizational) crisis, but without failing to note that the foundations of capitalism are also showing their historical limits and exacerbating global threats to the conditions of existence of life, without necessarily being a terminal crisis; and capitalist, post-capitalist and anti-capitalist options are the order of the day.
