Digital economic and overall social transformation does not shape the future in an economic-sociological/socio-economic direction and with content that contributes as an important factor for raising the level of social integration and cohesion that is social capital. In reality, the economic-sociological/socio-economic problem of the ‘old’ working class, a working class that is not optimally involved in the structures of digital technology, economy and society, is imposed as a key problem. The most provocative expression of the significance of this class, in particular the American white working class, that ‘old’ white working class, is its impact on the outcome of the presidential election in the US in November 2016. The decisive factor for Trump's victory was the acquisition of an economically-sociologically/socially-economically disadvantaged or even depressed American white working class concentrated in several major states in the US West and the Midwest, which carry a large number of electors in the electoral college. Therefore, the primary goal of potential democratic presidential candidates is to take, that is, to restore this American white working class as its electorate. То this end, ideological and political variants of the concepts of democratic socialism (exclusively Bernie Sanders) and democratic capitalism (practically all other Democratic presidential candidates) are being created.

Mainstream notions of the \"American Dream\" usually revolve around the ownership of private property, a house of one's own. Yet for the past 400 years, a large number of Americans have dared to dream bigger and bolder, choosing to live in intentional communities that pooled resources, and they worked to ensure the well-being of all their members.  American Community takes us inside forty of the most interesting intentional communities in the nation's history, from the colonial era to the present day. You will learn about such little-known experiments in cooperative living as the Icarian communities, which took the utopian ideas expounded in a 1840 French novel and put them into practice, ultimately spreading to five states over fifty years. Plus, it covers more recent communities such as Arizona's Arcosanti, designed by architect Paolo Soleri as a model for ecologically sustainable living. In this provocative and engaging book, Mark Ferrara guides readers through an array of intentional communities that boldly challenged capitalist economic arrangements in order to attain ideals of harmony, equality, and social justice. By shining a light on these forgotten histories, it shows that far from being foreign concepts, communitarianism and socialism have always been vital parts of the American experience.

The left-wing experience in Bolivia was emblematic for its achievements in economic growth and an unprecedented reduction of poverty and inequality, but it was interrupted by the coup of 2019. Nevertheless, in 2020 the second progressive wave emerged after a broad social movement to recover democracy. Then, this research aims to critically reflect on the progressive experience in Bolivia and its new challenges. Using political economy categories and the heterodox framework, this research argues that to remain the second progressive wave experience requires overcoming the internal political crisis and the balance of payments constraints. La experiencia de la izquierda en Bolivia fue emblemática por sus logros en crecimiento económico y una reducción sin precedentes de la pobreza y la desigualdad, pero fue interrumpida por el golpe de 2019.

Entonces, esta investigación pretende reflexionar críticamente sobre la experiencia progresista en Bolivia y sus nuevos desafíos. Utilizando categorías de economía política y el marco heterodoxo, esta investigación sostiene que la continuidad de la segunda ola progresista requiere superar la crisis política interna y las restricciones emergentes de la balanza de pagos.
