Post-World War II agreements initiated a multilateral UN system and a mixed economic model in Latin America but shifted towards a market-centric approach, prioritizing trade liberalization and diminishing social issues. This change led to heightened inequality and the rise of authoritarian politics as democracy was undermined. Many progressive governments addressed discrimination yet struggled with class exclusion. The crisis of representation caused political parties to lose touch with their bases. This resulted in growing support for the right, while inequality escalated, culminating in widespread poverty during the pandemic.
The second world war ended with an agreement of coexistence that included the creation of the UN multilateral system and a development model that combined the state, the market and democracy as an arena for political dispute.
The same postwar organizations imposed a new, market-centered model where value was replaced by price and social issues were subordinated to the laws of the market.
The crisis of representation led political parties to abandon their bases, enabling anti-politicians to find a platform in mainstream media.
Progressive governments focused on reducing discrimination based on gender and race rather than combating exclusion based on class, leading to attacks from the right.
