“…This characterization may appear isolated from the rest of Weber's oeuvre unless it is deployed within Weber's research agenda (Tenbruck & Weber, 1980;Kurthen, 2021): to unveil the roots of 'the specific and peculiar rationalism of Western culture' (Weber, 2013, p. xxxviii).…”

Drawing on the 2011 march against a highway project through the Isiboro Sécure National Park and IndigenousTerritory (TIPNIS) in Bolivia, this paper reviews Max Weber’s conceptions on rationality, situating the TIPNIS protestin the interface between the modern formal-instrumental rationality of Bolivian State with the Substantive rationalityproposed as ‘Vivir Bien’; an umbrella term for a conglomeration of Latin American indigenous proposals for asustainable human and nature relationship beyond neoliberalism,￹ colonialism, and their cultural and environmentalconsequences. As any modern institution, the Bolivian State seeks to impose modern means-ends calculations,discourses and practices, thus subduing the original transformational potential of ‘Vivir Bien’ as a different rationality,with its means-ends framework, knowledge and patterns of action.In this regard, from a Weberian critique of Modernity, two questions will be raised. First, to recognize the modernstate as the institutional embodiment of modern formal-instrumental rationality, bounded to the means-ends frameworksettled by Modernity. Secondly, to evaluate the conditions for the possibility of incorporating other rationalities into themodern state, allowing another means-ends calculation for state policy-making as well as other patterns of action andsociality.From these considerations, this paper realizes modern rationalism in front of other rationalisms, other humanworldviews and practices in a critical search of alternative approaches and proposals to attend to local and globalproblems that threaten sustainable human existence, from environmental devaluation to social inequality.

The main priority for the development of the whole world at present is globalization. As for our country, at present it is actively involved in the process of digitalization of all spheres of society. As a result, there is a reassessment of values not only in terms of the economic situation on a global scale, but also in the social aspect of the development of society: education, culture, and legal issues. All this is reflected in the demographic situation of both Russia and other countries. This monograph is a collective work of teachers and students of the Department of Economic Security, Accounting and Law of the Don State Technical University. It is devoted to the study of individual socio-economic and legal problems and processes.
