EXCLUSION AND/OR SOCIAL INEQUALITY?

Theoretical and Politicalpractices questions

Abstract

The text approaches the social exclusion thematic in the globalizatition of the capital and the neoliberal policies context. Highlights some of the critical warnings to the use of the notion of the social exclusion and points out some limits and risks for its use. Underlines that the notion of social exclusion are insufficient to apprehend the structural crisis of wage labour and radicalisation of inequality in the current crisis of capital system. Finally, highlights some theoretical implications of that concept, pointing out that the antinomy inclusion-exclusion is a symptom of relations generate inequality, which need to be broken up and overcome. Concludes by showing that this passage implies dense theory and organised political action.
