Abstract

This article analyses the end of the historical cycle of the debate inserted by neoliberalism in education during the latest decades, and makes a balance of how much of the epics and manifest of neoclassic and neo-institutionalist political economy effectively anchored in Latin American educational systems. By reviewing the concept of quasi-monopoly, this text provides theoretical categories that allow to think that Latin American education systems assume, more than pro-market reforms, a new statalization in the Foucaultian sense of government, and that they constitute a whole composed by a traditional state sector and a new output sector that, in a constant dynamic balance, contribute to the satisfaction of diverse needs of the many social sectors.
