The BVPS Blog publishes today the third post of the international symposium Capitalism and Authoritarianism: What Is to Be Done?, which invited Brazilian and international specialists, drawing from three major areas of the social sciences — social theory, the sociology of work, and Brazilian social and political thought — to answer four questions around the intricate relationships between authoritarianism and capitalism in the contemporary world. The responses will be published in batches every Wednesday. By clicking here you can read the other publications from the symposium.
