La globalización y su impacto en las áreas urbanas de América Latina

Abstract

Globalization is affecting the Earth and Humankind in general; it, however, has a special impact on Ibero-America. Capitalism implies a material mode of production that organizes our civilization, life, production and consumption, but it is also a deep cultural and intellectual phenomenon. It is an economic and cultural mode and phenomenon that, in the last five centuries, have yielded relevant results but in very different and set-apart periods.
