Crise de valorização e desmedida do capital - breve ensaio sobre a natureza da crise estrutural do capital

Education as an instrument of civilizational progress: analysis of Vicente de Carvalho's proposals for educational modernization in Santos (1889)

“…2 Capitalist modernity is understood as what Alves (2011) conceptualizes as the second modernity of capital, that is, the period between the First and Second Industrial Revolutions, when the capitalist mode of production was established and disseminated in the West.
