Abstract

This article traces the context of the writing of Los pocos y los mejores. Three theses are sustained. First, that the political cycle that opened in 2008 was dominated by a very biased interpretation of the economic crisis. Secondly, it is argued that the reference to Marx was an obstacle to understanding the conflicts linked to cultural capital, which would be of enormous importance in the political experience of the left. Thirdly, finally, the difficulties of the democratic experience in the face of two great matrices of political practice are placed: one coming from Leninism and the other from entrepreneurial capitalism.
