Based on a rigorous critique of the presuppositions underlying these different notions, it is argued that the hegemony of the neoclassic approach to the world enjoys an arsenal that heavily constrains the arsenal available for interpreting Latin Americas social reality. Above all, it warns about the risks entailed in demands to undermine labor rights and re-privatize class relations, as forced upon Latin America by neoliberal reform programs.
