Abstract
By presenting cynicism as an historical identity of present times, this paper conceptualizes, in a global yet synthetic manner, the triple foundation that originates the globalization of poverty —that is: the neoliberal configuration, the defeat of the defensive monopolies held by the States of the Second and Third Worlds and the dynamic with which the technological revolution strengthens global power— in order to realize a comprehensive assessment from which we can evaluate the
decisive contributions of Julio Boltvinik’s Ampliar la mirada, his biggest contribution to the international debate about poverty.This work is an iconoclastic view, build upon the principles of totality, transdisciplinarian thought, moral economy and national self-determination, that allows the conceptualization of poverty as use-value.
