Sociedades posneoliberales en América Latina y persistencia del extractivismo

Latin american progressive goverments have not been succeful in giving up extractivism. Although, it cannot be said that nothing has been made to stop the depredation carry out by neoliberal capitalism. On the contrary, the use of the economic exceeds and the oil profits to improve living standards in the population and to transform the productive infrastructure in those countries represents a real difference from neoliberal approaches. The acknowlege of this effort, does not mean to believe that progressive governments in Latin American have been successful in changing capitalism production and consumption patterns. Indeed, those governments are extractivism dependent in order to increase production and consumption.Over all, it cannot be said that the change of extractivism political orientation has solved the social and environmental consequences of, for example, open air mining or genetically modified organism.
