Abstract

The world is currently going through numerous economic, political, social, migratory, and environmental crises that are becoming more numerous and prolonged. This denotes the unsustainability of the capitalist system to solve the main problems that affect humanity today. Latin America is not exempt from these problems; in fact, studies show that it is the most unequal region on the planet. This is why the emergence of oppositional alternatives is necessary to put an end to the inequalities caused by the neoliberal model. Such inequalities can be understood from the study of the Marxist conception of the labor-capital relationship. The objective of this work is to carry out an analysis of how neoliberal policies influence the labor-capital relationship, considering the impact of algorithms on the organization of work and labor exploitation, taking into account the present cycle of inequalities where access to opportunities is limits and solidifies structures of privilege, thus evidencing the tensions inherent to capitalism and the need for a social transformation that addresses these structural inequalities.
