Las valiosas reflexiones del pol tico m s querido del mundo y del m s importante pensador contempor neo, reunidos por primera vez en Uruguay para llamar a la acci n.

Dos referentes mundiales del pensamiento contempor neo se re nen en este libro para conversar acerca de temas trascendentales que afectan a la humanidad y debatir alternativas de cara al futuro. Por un lado, Jos Pepe Mujica, un expresidente y exguerrillero que ha logrado una enorme popularidad internacional por su mensaje de austeridad, sabidur a y sentido com n. Por otro lado, Noam Chomsky, el intelectual que revolucion la ling stica para luego abordar una amplia gama de temas human sticos y filos ficos de profunda actualidad. El documentalista mexicano Sa l Alv drez logr reunirlos y generar el clima propicio para el intercambio fecundo de ideas.

Del encuentro de estas voces surgen reflexiones que permiten un acercamiento a los grandes temas que el mundo actual est afrontando: las consecuencias del cambio clim tico, los males de la pol tica, la corrupci n, los populismos, la crisis del capitalismo y sus sucesivas mutaciones, la l gica de la econom a de mercado y los problemas de la producci n, entre muchos otros.

Frente a la amenaza de un colapso civilizatorio, y ante las contradicciones de las alternativas de izquierda, Chomsky y Mujica apuntan a los valores que deben tenerse en cuenta para avanzar hacia un cambio sostenible. La democracia, la libertad, la vida con prop sito, el amor y la amistad, como pilares desde los que construir un nuevo rumbo.

Convencido de que las generaciones millennial y centennial han heredado una civilizaci n ecol gica, econ mica, pol tica y socialmente insostenible, Alv drez afirma que su misi n es intentar amplificar la conversaci n p blica entre los j venes y enfocarla a la soluci n de problemas globales.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Valuable reflections from the most beloved politician in the world and the greatest contemporary thinker, together in Uruguay for the first time to make a call to action.

Two international referents of contemporary thinking come together in this book to talk about far-reaching issues that affect humanity and discuss alternatives for the future. On the one side, Jos "Pepe" Mujica, former President and former guerrilla member who achieved immense international notoriety for his message of austerity, wisdom, and common sense. On the other, Noam Chomsky, the intellectual who revolutionized linguistics to address a wide variety of profoundly current humanistic and philosophical topics. Mexican documentary filmmaker Sa l Alv drez managed to bring them together and create an atmosphere conducive to this fruitful exchange of ideas.

Reflections rise from this gathering of voices, providing an approach to the main issues the world is dealing with today: the consequences of climate change, the evils of politics, corruption, populisms, the crisis of capitalism and its successive mutations, the logic behind a market-driven economy, and production problems, among many others.

Faced with the threat of a civilizing collapse and the contradictions of left-wing alternatives, Chomsky and Mujica point to those values that must be considered in order to advance towards sustainable change. Democracy, freedom, a purposeful life, love, and friendship as pillars to build a new direction.

Convinced that millennial and centennial generations have inherited an environmentally, economically, politically, and socially unsustainable civilization, Alv drez states that his mission is to amplify public dialogue among young people and focus it on solving global issues.
