On the other hand, this economic system that determines the relationships among production factors, settling the maximization of earnings and the minimization of costs, does not solve the world’s inequalities as regards wealth distribution. In fact, 80% of the poorest population does not reach the 20% distribution of incomes and the richest 0.02% keep 20% of it. Results also show that inequality also generates greater child mortality and mortality due to communicable diseases. El presente trabajo plantea que más allá de las crisis cíclicas del capitalismo, existe una crisis del sistema en sí, ya que la lógica de crear mayor riqueza ha sobrepasado las condiciones de tolerancia de la capacidad reproductiva del medio ambiente, a límites ya no permitidos para el bienestar humano. Por otro lado, este sistema económico que determina las relaciones entre los factores de la producción, arreglado a la maximización de ganancias y minimización de costos, no soluciona las inequidades en el mundo, respecto a la distribución de la riqueza. En efecto el 80% de la población más pobre no alcanza a la distribución del 20% de la renta y el 0,2% más rico se adjudica el 20% de la misma. Los resultados también indican que la inequidad genera mayor mortalidad infantil y mortalidad por enfermedades transmisibles. Resumo Este artigo argumenta que para além das crises cíclicas do capitalismo, há uma crise do próprio sistema, uma vez que a lógica de criar mais riqueza ultrapassou as condições de tolerância da capacidade de reprodução do meio ambiente, a limites já não permitidos para o bem-estar humano. Além disso, este sistema econômico que determina a relação entre os factores de produção, organizado para maximizar os lucros e minimizar os custos, não aborda as desigualdades no mundo, em relação à distribuição da riqueza. De fato, 80% da população mais pobre não atinge a distribuição de 20% da renda e ao 0,2% mais rico são destinados 20% da mesma. Os resultados também indicam que a desigualdade gera maior mortalidade infantil e mortalidade por doenças transmissíveis. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
