The 2008 financial crisis, as well as the challenge to the practices and basic principles of neoliberal globalization, did not cause significant changes in the direction of a post-neoliberal world. This systemic reflux movement that Brazil and the world are experiencing is part of a worldwide process. Taking as a starting point the effects and consequences of the 2008 crisis on the world-system, especially on the world of work, the drama of unemployment and the worrying increase in poverty, the aim of this book is to discuss work, inequalities and hierarchies based on concepts and categories from the perspective of World-Systems Analysis.
