Andrés Piqueras Infante examines the different phases of the capitalist system, its regimes of accumulation, modes of regulation, and the energy foundations that sustain it. The reader will find a detailed explanation of the historical evolution of capitalism and its future prospects, situating the reformist option as an intermediate path between authoritarianism and revolutionary transformation. An essential text for understanding the structural dynamics that shape our social and economic reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book develops an in-depth analysis of the transformations of capitalism throughout its history, paying special attention to the tensions between reform and revolution as strategies for political and social change. Piqueras Infante examines how regimes of accumulation have evolved in response to economic crises and social conflicts, and how modes of regulation have sought to stabilize the system. The work also addresses the energy dimension of capitalism, exploring its dependence on fossil fuels and the implications for its future sustainability. Through this journey, the author provides keys to understanding the current crossroads between authoritarian despotism and revolutionary aspirations, positioning reformism as a recurring historical alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical evolution of capitalism and its phases of development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRegimes of accumulation and modes of economic regulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between political processes and economic structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy foundations of capitalism and its ecological limits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReformism as a strategy for change versus authoritarianism and revolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and researchers of social sciences, especially those interested in sociology, political economy, social history, and political theory.
