In this video, Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the history of capitalism and its negative effects on society. He explains that capitalism creates inequality and poverty, and that we need to move towards a post-capitalist system in order to address these problems.

  • 00:00:00 In this video, Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the history and criticism of capitalism. He points out that in order to understand the economics behind political decisions, one must be familiar with the three fundamental categories of economics: value, use, and exchange. He explains that, in order to understand Mexico's economic problems, one must also understand the role of politics and the economy in relation to gender, education, and relations between nations. Finally, he asks the audience to take responsibility for their own political education and to vote in elections.
  • 00:05:00 The video discusses the history of capitalism and its negative effects on society. It emphasizes the importance of understanding economics in order to make informed political decisions. The speaker explains that the economy is based on the fact that we are living creatures, and that it is strange for someone to say this. Politics, for example, is related to our everyday lives because we choose how to live based on our needs. Necessity is not the only source of our needs, however. Hunger and the need for food come from the simple fact that we are alive. If we do not consume the energy and material that we have consumed, we die of hunger. This is so easy to understand, but policymakers seem to miss it. The speaker goes on to say that the economy is also based on the fact that we produce things. If we do not use our resources to produce food, for example, we will have to import it from other countries. This will cost us more money, and we will have to use our money to buy food that we can produce ourselves. This food is then exported, and we use our dollars to buy energy resources, like oil, that we can put to more useful use. All of these problems--economic and political--lead to the
  • 00:10:00 The video discusses the history of capitalism and its negative effects on society. Dr. Enrique Dussel argues that what is left over from production can be purchased by other things and the country is better off economically. He points out that it is an economic problem and economists do not know this and then the country loses sales of its oil buying maize instead, which could be produced for example, by him. However, economists do not seem to care because they reap the benefits of this situation today, as the Coyoacán delegate. What do you say to someone who asks for more than one party for the children? We are going to end up spending 4 million gifts and nice children will add them, but 10% of my pocket money and he gets richer. This is protested by the neighbors and he does propaganda to say that the best delegate in the city is a bad politician. Then, one needs to know something about economics in order to be a politician, but also to vote to know who is best equipped to have a good project. We are living beings like we are living beings and we consume matter and energy as we consume matter and energy and we have hunger because we have need, which is good because it tells us what to eat. We feel hunger because our
  • 00:15:00 In this video, Dr. Enrique Dussel explains the concept of value. He defines it as the "satisfactor" that is useful in one's everyday life. He also discusses the concept of value in terms of human interaction and how it applies to products in a marketplace. Finally, he explains the concept of value in terms of equivalent values and how it applies to goods in a market.
  • 00:20:00 In this video, Dr. Enrique Dussel reviews the history of capitalism and explains the related concepts of value, price, and money. He also discusses the disadvantages of capitalism and the emergence of other economic systems. Finally, he presents his thesis on economic systems. According to Dr. Dussel, the history of capitalism can be divided into three stages: the pre-capitalist phase, the capitalist phase, and the post-capitalist phase. The pre-capitalist phase is characterized by the use of bartering and the exchange of goods and services for other goods and services. The capitalist phase is characterized by the development of production for profit and the accumulation of wealth. The post-capitalist phase is characterized by the transition from capitalism to some other kind of economic system. The main disadvantage of capitalism is that it generates inequality and poverty. This is because the wealthy can accumulate wealth at the expense of the poor, and because businesses can become too powerful and engage in greed and exploitation. To address these problems, Dr. Dussel believes that we need to move towards a post-capitalist system, in which the ownership of property and the management of businesses are democratically controlled. This system would be based on the concept of equivalence, which would mean that the
  • 00:25:00 In this video, Dr. Enrique Dussel explains the history of capitalism and how it has resulted in an increasing gap between the rich and the poor. He also speaks about the difference between societies that rely on abundance and those that work hard but still don't have enough. He points out that the latter are societies of the "abundance." This video is interesting and informative, and it provides a different perspective on the effects of capitalism.
  • 00:30:00 According to Dr. Enrique Dussel, human civilizations began to develop cities 10,000 years ago, and as cities began to grow, their population increased to 5,800 or 8,000 people. All other inhabitants were hunters, gatherers, and agriculturalists. However, when cities arose, there was a problem with food surpluses. They would share everything when there was only a city population, but when there were millions of people living together, specialties evolved. Agriculturalists began to produce crops, and pastoralists became hunters who killed animals for food. This led to ecological problems because, as forests were cut down to plant crops, a pollution problem began. The rich became richer, and a class of rulers emerged who took advantage of the poor. A society of inequality was decided, and it began with the Mesopotamian king who said, "I have made justice for the poor, widow, and orphan." But this was preceded by an earlier injustice, because there are poor people because of aid to the poor, because there are foreigners in a society where some take advantage of the work of others, and that began 10,000 years ago with the development of cities. In Mexico City, for example,
  • 00:35:00 In this YouTube video, Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the history and development of capitalism. He explains that throughout history, there have been different types of societies organized around different levels of exploitation. One example is slavery, where a free person would purchase another person as a slave. However, this type of exploitation was not limited to just one region or era; it has been present in many different civilizations throughout history. The next stage in the development of capitalism was the emergence of the bourgeoisie, which Dussel defines as a class of landowners who own the means of production and work the land themselves. Because they had control over the production process, the bourgeoisie was able to accumulate wealth and power. This led to the development of capitalism's second stage, the imperialism stage. In this stage, capitalists expand their businesses into new markets in order to get a larger share of the global market. They do this by using their military power to conquer new territories and extract resources from the local population. Dussel concludes the video by pointing out that, although capitalism has brought many benefits to humanity, it is not perfect. He explains that, in order to maintain its power, the bourgeoisie requires a constant flow of new consumers. This flow of consumers is provided by
  • 00:40:00 Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the history of capitalism and its negative effects on the majority of people. He argues that the current situation in which many people are slaves is much worse than it was in ancient times, when slaves worked for their masters with swords and nature produced everything. The free and free-born man owned everything and the slave had no property. The slave worked for the other and was the most terrible system. However, the system also existed in the Aztec Empire, where groups of dominated people delivered what we now call tribute. They sailed across the ocean to America and believed that America was China. They began the conquest in the year 1492, and by the end of the century, the Spanish had taken over where the Aztec elite had left off. The new rulers, the Spanish, dominated all other groups and everyone fell under their power. The colonial period began with the arrival of the Spanish in 1492 and continued until the end of the century. During this time, the Spanish sold the country to other Europeans, and Mexico became indebted to them. Today, Mexico is in the hands of the Americans, and is in a very bad situation economically and culturally. To understand all of this, we need to have categories to understand
  • 00:45:00 Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the history of capitalism and its various empires, noting that Mexico's Lázaro Cárdenas nationalized oil and mineral resources in the early 20th century, allowing for a small Mexican bourgeoisie to industrialize. However, this progress was soon abandoned in favor of European-style neoliberalism, which has led to Mexico being worse off economically than in 1934. Dussel suggests that the solution to Mexico's problems lies in a comprehensive reform of education, in which the people would be aware of the reasons for their poverty and indignity. He also argues that the global value of gold and silver has decreased due to the abundance of American gold and silver, leading to the development of Arab and Chinese colonies by Europe due to their lack of access to these valuable commodities.
  • 00:50:00 In this video, Dr. Enrique Dussel explains the history and dynamics of capitalism, and how it needs to be replaced with a more equitable, sustainable system. He argues that the individual is never truly free, and that we are all members of a living community that must be governed democratically. He also suggests that the language we use should reflect this reality, and that we are all communal beings.
  • 00:55:00 In this video, Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the history and criticism of capitalism. He notes that while politics may be involved in economics, the only subject of production is the human community, which as work-live constitutes nature as a value of use. He goes on to say that, since we live from nature, it can be said that the tree, insect, animal, and atmosphere all constitute gods to the Aztecs. We can then remove the sacred from these things and leave them as sacred, because thanks to them we live. These institutions-economic, political, and social-then evolve over time. In the third segment, Dr. Dussel discusses economic institutions, noting that there are three types: the productive community, a business, and the social institution of the state. These are all subject to corruption, and he expresses his love for this messy, complicated word: reproduction. He will be teaching a full class on reproduction later this semester. Finally, he discusses the human tendency to create institutions that are perfect, but which are ultimately flawed. This is the path to tragedy, justice, and, ultimately, godliness.

In this video, Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the history of capitalism and how it has resulted in the exploitation of workers. He argues that the true value of capital is not in the money or the tactics it employs, but rather in the value that it creates as it passes through all of the decisions made within it. He concludes the video by saying that the Mexican people should criticize capitalism from a marxist perspective.

  • 01:00:00 Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the history of capitalism and how the wealthy people we call "rich" and the population as a whole becomes impoverished. These two perspectives are universal when the institution is no longer serving the consumption needs of the people, turning them into an end in themselves. Then, the president, senator, or local representative proposes enriching themselves, and in addition, making some fruit to prove they're not already too rich. But this is not enough for them, and so the institution becomes exploitative, oppressive, and creates excess wealth, but then also takes what's necessary to keep the people poor. This cycle of becoming richer at the expense of the people continues until the rich become even richer and the middle class disappears, leaving the poor to fend for themselves. This system will serve me well to move forward, as was the result of the cities in ancient times. However, there is another system that manages the excess wealth of a different way, controlling it through taxation. In these systems, the Aztecs, for example, received places and arrows, and would accumulate great wealth and pyramids by working for the three great empires. For the great pyramids to be demonstrated the power of the state, the subjugated people from the countryside would help
  • 01:05:00 This video discusses the history of capitalism, which began with the discovery of America. Exploitation of resources, including gold and silver, led to the development of a new type of system, capitalism. This system is based on the accumulation of wealth, which is called "original accumulation." The system is hidden from the capitalist and laborer, who are both invisible to each other. The wealth is accumulated by those who produce more than they need to live, and the poor become poorer. The mystery of capital is that it is not known where it comes from or what it is. The video asks a question: Why are the rich rich and the poor poor?
  • 01:10:00 The video examines the history of capitalism, highlighting the different types of capitalism that have existed throughout history. The first form of capitalism was the mercantilist system, which was based on the exchange of goods. However, Spain never developed industrial sectors, so the country remained poor. The industrial revolution was later delayed in Spain because of the religious disputes surrounding the issue of whether indigenous peoples were human. Ultimately, the theologians came to the conclusion that they were not human, and so they could be exploited without paying salaries. Mercantilism also led to the working of colonial slaves and indigenous peoples for free, giving the latter an economic advantage. Marx was notable for his work in analyzing the origins of capitalism and the exploitation of the working class. His theory of the original sin of accumulation was controversial among religious leaders, but it was ultimately taken seriously in terms of economic analysis. The video ends by discussing the structural sin of capitalism, which refers to the fact that the structures that create wealth and poverty are prior to human beings.
  • 01:15:00 Dr. Enrique Dussel explains what capitalism is, and how it came to be the way it is today. He talks about the history of colonialism, and how the first stage of capitalism, based on mercantilism, changed with the arrival of goods and the taking of wealth. He then discusses the issue of property, and how it is essential to capitalism's ability to value things and assign value to individuals. He finishes by talking about the capitalistic influence in our everyday lives, and how we can change the way history is taught to our children if we want to.
  • 01:20:00 In this video, Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the history of capitalism and how it has resulted in the exploitation of workers. He also discusses the different aspects of capital, including value, capital, and profit. Finally, he explains how the value of a person's life can be measured in terms of their productivity.
  • 01:25:00 In this video, Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the concept of value. He states that the value of a thing is a deep anthropological, metaphysical concept that is objective (made object of life). He also discusses how the blood is the place of life because if an animal is killed and its blood is taken, the animal dies. For thinkers in the Semitic, biblical, Judaic, Islamic, and Christian traditions, blood is also a symbol of life because it sustains creatures in their natural state. For Marx, the accumulation of value in human life led to the death of the worker, because their life was converted into value. The worker's life was also at risk because their wages only represented a portion of their life's value. Today, with the rise of capitalism, this problem of life and death has become even more acute. The worker puts their life into their product, which is then sold and used again in the purchase of another product. The worker then objectiveifies (makes object) more life than they receive in their salary. The work force pays the worker's salary, but the worker gives the worker's life away - but in reality, it's stolen. There is the secret to capitalism - there is a part of the worker's time
  • 01:30:00 In this video, Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the history of capitalism and Marxism, and how neither theory accurately represents the true nature of the capitalist system. He then goes on to say that the true value of capital is not in the money or the tactics it employs, but rather in the value that it creates as it passes through all of the decisions made within it. He concludes the video by saying that the Mexican people should criticize capitalism from a marxist perspective, and that he will discuss these topics in more detail in his next book.
  • 01:35:00 Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the history of capitalism, explaining that the value of goods and services increasing enables the comrade to say what Marx said, that since I said it, I will say it in German: that the value of capital is growing, which means the increasing value of money. This increases the middle class's wealth. Roberto de Suertes describes the value of capital as growing value, which means more life is concentrated in capital, which is vampirelike in that it sucks the lifeblood of the worker and lives off their death. This is why the worker is poor, because they don't receive the full value of their labor. The rich don't know where their wealth comes from and believe that their intelligence and intelligence entitles them to a salary like an entrepreneur, but not as property owners. Another thing Dr. Dussel clarifies is that, in the case of William Williams, for example, he could be an inventor, but is also an inspector who owns the patent to his invention. He uses other people's inventions and appropriates their profits, giving everyone in society a share of the surplus. This anticipates a stage in which the capitalistic system will become more complex, but also dangerous for the workers.
  • 01:40:00 Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the history of capitalism, highlighting the important role of capital accumulation and how it has become more mysterious and hidden over time. He explains that because capitalism is based on the exploitation of workers, it is ultimately incompatible with a just and humane society.
  • 01:45:00 This video critiques the history of capitalism, highlighting the role of President Zedillo in the debt crisis and the subsequent privatization of banks. It argues that the economy would be in a much better position if television were used to educate the public and engage in open debates about economics. Some questions for the future course include: What would happen if television stopped being profitable and was instead used to educate the public? And what would be the consequences of this?
  • 01:50:00 Dr. Enrique Dussel discusses the negative aspects of capitalism and how it has contributed to the increase in immorality. He concludes that it is ultimately good that we have finished our work schedule and will continue the next.
