Abstract:

The Sars-CoV-2 pandemic exposed the social inequalities that plague a large part of the world population and unveiled the fragility of health systems. The cruel pedagogy of the virus intonates the debate of the teachings through the impacts of the pandemic, showing, above all, the inefficiency of the current economic and financial system added to the fragility of the State in responding to the diverse inequalities of society that are accentuated in times of crisis. The succinct book written by Boaventura de Sousa Santos brings an abundance of meanings divided into five chapters: 1- \"Virus: everything that is solid crumbles in the air\"; 2- \"The tragic transparency of the virus\"; 3- \"South of the quarantine\"; 4- \"The intense virus pedagogy: the first lessons\"; 5- \"The future can begin today\". It is an inviting reading and makes us reflect on the last forty years lived in the political, cultural and ideological quarantine of a capitalism closed in on itself and of racial and sexual discrimination, without which it cannot survive. It is life in quarantine within another quarantine. It raises the final reflection, that only by winning the capitalism pandemic will we be freedquarantines caused by pandemics.
