This study examines fundamental theoretical and conceptual issues of social change in Latin America in the context of detailed empirical analysis. The study centers on the structural features of Latin America and the state policies reconcentrating power in the capitalist class at the expense of labor.

The authors trace out the development of capitalism and U.S. imperialism in Latin America in the latest phase of this development, from the installation of the new world order of neoliberal globalization in the early 1980s to the present when U.S. imperialism is held at bay, neoliberalism is in decline, and capitalism is in crisis.
