Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. In the bowels of capital: on modern barbarism -- Chapter 3. Rethinking wealth and poverty in capitalist society -- Chapter 4. Financialisation, work and gender: violence and barbarism in ultraliberal Brazil -- Chapter 5. Marx and the category of fictitious profits: some notes on the Brazilian economy -- Chapter 6. Dollar hegemony under challenge and the rise of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC): a new form of world money? -- Chapter 7. Brazil amid the structural crisis of capital -- Chapter 8. Final words.

This book analyses contemporary capitalism from Brazil and from the Marxian critique of political economy, particularly; the co-dependency of wealth and poverty and of civilization and barbarism; the current tendency towards capital over-accumulation and the specific form assumed by the capitalist crisis in recent decades; the financialisation process of capital accumulation, its effects on the world of labour; and the place that the state assumes in this broad process. Current trends toward increasing social inequality, impoverishment of large sections of the population, precariousness of labour and rising unemployment, environmental destruction, the spread of austerity policies and the suppression of social policies, the rise of the far right (together with the strengthening of racism, misogyny, xenophobia, political and religious fanaticism and all manner of intolerance, etc.), low economic growth, the primacy of the financial dimension of capital accumulation, all need to be understood in their multiple and complex articulations, as fundamental and inherent elements of contemporary capitalism, associating empirical analysis with conceptual construction. Because they are strictly contradictory processes, a dialectical approach is required that reclaims the Marxian legacy, and aims to contribute to updating it, seeking to bring new and relevant elements to the Marxist debate, based on a specific interpretation of Marx's work, and as an immediate empirical basis the Brazilian reality. Gustavo Moura de Cavalcanti Mello is Professor in the Department of Economics and the Post-Graduate Program in Social Policy at the Federal University of Espirito Santo, Brazil. Henrique Pereira Braga is Professor in the Department of Economics at the Federal University of Espirito Santo, Brazil.
