Abstract

This paper reviews the main progresses of capitalism in Latin America, categorized as premodern, modern and postmodern times, which set the economic and social development of the region at the crossroads. The concepts of modernity as a theoretical approach to economic development and that of postmodernity as a current of thought of late or postindustrial capitalist development, together with the globalization processes, are reviewed in order to draw up the boundaries of the end of organized modernity. It is concluded that the contemporary processes of globalization and the expansion of late and postmodern capitalism have aggravated the chronic problems of economic and social development in the Latin American region.
