In an era where climate change and economic inequality are pressing issues, author Agustín V. Startari presents an innovative solution in his book, “Ciao Capitalism.” Startari explores an economy that not only seeks to maximize financial gains but also prioritizes the well-being of society and the environment. Instead of focusing on individual ownership and control, the book advocates for solidarity and collective participation in business management. The circular and regenerative economy aims to reduce waste and emissions while rejuvenating ecosystems and biodiversity. Furthermore, the democratic economy promotes citizen participation and collective decision-making in the ownership and control of the means of production. Within these pages, Startari delves into each of these concepts, providing a detailed analysis of how they can be implemented. By offering tangible solutions to today’s economic, social, and environmental challenges, this book becomes an essential guide for those looking to build a fairer and more sustainable future. This collection gathers independent research works exploring power, ideology, legitimacy, and history through a cross-disciplinary lens. Each volume is self-contained yet contributes to a shared thread: the critical analysis of how power is formed, exercised, and sustained over time. From Ancient Egypt to 20th-century totalitarianism, Work Papers presents a clear, academically grounded narrative about the historical and discursive mechanisms that shape our societies. Each entry is numbered to reflect its place in this evolving series.
