FROM UTOPIA TO ENTROPY: LABOR, GLOBALIZATION AND THE CONTRADICTIONS OF THE INFORMATION SOCIETY

Abstract

This article analyzes the transformations of work and social relations in the context of globalization  and the information society, based on a critical approach grounded in Marxist dialectics. The study  seeks to understand how productive reorganization, technological advancement, and the  financialization of the economy impact the structure of contemporary capitalism, increasing  inequalities and redefining the role of human labor. Methodologically, it is a theoretical and  analytical study based on a literature review and critical interpretation of the contemporary  economic and social system. The results indicate that the globalized society presents paradoxical  characteristics: while it expands the circulation of information and goods, it intensifies processes of social exclusion and labor precarization. It is concluded that understanding the dynamics between  capital, technology, and society is essential to interpret current and future challenges of production  relations.
