About the acceleration of social time in the contemporary capitalist society

Abstract

This article faces the argument for the acceleration of contemporary social time whose origin is attributed to the colonization of the life world by the expansive and dominant logic of the capitalist system by conditioning all activities, relationships and movements to work, where productivity and effectiveness are oriented to economic growth in a technicized industrial planet. The methodology used is the textual hermeneutics. To conclude the proposal raises to humanize the capitalist economy for humans to colonize social wealth; colonizing the system so that social life is worth living to the fullest.
