| Sumario: | Abstract This work states that beyond the cyclic crisis of capitalism, the system itself is in crisis, since the logic of creating greater wealth has exceeded the conditions of tolerance of the reproductive capacity of the environment, to limits not permitted for human welfare. 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. |
