Crisis, Capital and Resources: Chronicles of the Difference. Review of Todo lo que entró en crisis

Reseña de Todo lo que entró en crisis

Abstract

In Todo lo que entró en crisis José Luis Moreno Pestaña and Jorge Costa Delgado bring together a large number of sociologists and researchers with different backgrounds and methodological approaches whose common denominator is to have conducted interviews with profiles affected and weakened by the various social and economic crises that have occurred since 2008. Drawing inspiration from Pierre Bourdieu’s The Weight of the World, but also confronting it with regard to the concept of capital that characterizes it, this book offers an objectified overall picture of the crisis as a multifactorial and complex social process that calls into question the traditional mechanisms
of social reproduction. The working classes, the middle classes and the migrant population are portrayed in its pages as dynamic realities with specific strategies for confronting the crisis and with dissimilar perspectives for overcoming the difficulties.
