The crisis triggered by the new coronavirus is not “just” health, but the ignition of a long series of explosions that threaten to tear down our no longer very solid social, political, economic and cultural structures. In order for them to remain standing, they will have to be reopened. The warning is given: to survive, we have to reconnect with nature in broad terms, and also with what we call human nature. The Alarm Sounded: The Crisis of Capitalism Beyond the Pandemic brings together authors from Brazil, Argentina, France, Spain and Mexico, in essays that map, in the heat of events, critical moments, utopias, dystopias, solidarity, selfishness that the pandemic has laid bare. Political, economic, legal and media aspects are approached with an open heart and a critical eye, making it clear that building a future that is not dystopian from the current rubble will require a collective effort in which each of us is fundamental. Because the rope is taut and the balance we need to walk it over the abyss is not fiscal.
