The origin of capitalism : a longer view
\"How did the dynamic economic system we know as capitalism develop among the peasants and lords of feudal Europe? In The Origin of Capitalism, a now-classic work of history, Ellen Meiksins Wood offers readers a clear and accessible introduction to the theories and debates concerning the birth of capitalism, imperialism, and the modern nation state. Capitalism is not a natural and inevitable consequence of human nature, nor simply an extension of age-old practices of trade and commerce. Rather, it is a late and localized product of very specific historical conditions, which required great transformations in social relations and in the relationship between humans and nature.\"--Page 4 of cover.

El discurso contemporáneo y su relación con los afectos y los objetos: una reflexión psicoanalítica
Abstract From various social scopes, including some psychological and psychiatric positions, ideals of happiness and well-being are offered in order to guarantee the subjects' fidelity to the consumption objects. From a psychoanalitic perspective these offers are unattainable due to the structural condition that marks us as speaking beings, namely, lack. [...]this lack is experienced by the subjects as frustration, guilt, anxiety and depression; affects that show the paradoxical nature of today's world, given that, faced with the imperative of unlimited enjoyment of consumer objects, the subject is constantly confronted with impossibility. De allí la importancia de rastrear la angustia y el objeto a para la época actual, en contraste con los afectos y objetos que guían otros discursos.
