Sumario:Carlos Véjar Pérez Rubio analyzes in this work how the global expansion of capitalism tends to create a one-dimensional and urban world which subjects particularities and singularities to universal Western values, specially those of the market.

The disjunction now for him, in this field, is "colonization or liberation".
