Publisher's Synopsis
They were and, still today - the dawn of the century. XXI - there are many who, led by the political-economic ideas of Marxist thought, advocated and advocate the "end of capitalism".
They advocated and advocate that, following a materially dialectical process of history, the capitalist "political society" would or will also naturally be incorporated by "civil society", giving rise to a "so-called perfect" or communist society, without classes, in which all men excluded, in it, would finally be free from injustices and/or social inequalities.
What is evident, however, is that, historically, capitalism - despite going through numerous crises and also being a political-economic system whose class and/or social group has, in essence, as a principle, to disaggregate more members of the that properly aggregate - it has always maintained its hegemony. That is, contrary to the Marxist theses about its supposed end, capitalism, according to the first political-economic analyzes of the Italian Antonio Gramsci, also brought with it the so-called "Hegemony", making it - through its ideological character - become paralyze, and not only condition the "dialectic of history". In other words, making capitalism, as a political society, through ideology, remain the dominant class and not be incorporated by "civil society",
The aim of our work, therefore, is to carry out a study of the issues surrounding the ideological relations between the (by us called) "Society of the Moneyless Rich" and capitalism, insofar as it is in post-Western societies. modern, has systematized and disseminated in the sociocultural imagination of the proletariat (in the form of values and principles), its ideals and/or ideas, co-opting them, without, however, in the same process, also socializing and/or redistributing the material means of social production of existence. This, for us, is evident as one of the most radical - and at the same time subtle - forms of capitalist hegemony present in the 21st century.
Our objective, therefore, will also be to seek to understand how, through the ideology of "School Success, linked to the idea of social ascension", education is now conceived, socially, as a product, and the School, in the same path, systematized as one whose function is not only to train cheap and so-called qualified labor for the formation of the reserve army (recommended by Marx), but also to, by socializing individuals, make them incorporate, as their own, capitalist values and principles (Consumerism, Meritocracy, Individualism, etc.).
