Resumo: The article deals with the controversial question: are disasters signs of the crisis of capitalism? Capitalism has gone through multiple stages throughout history and in its last, more global phase, we have neoliberalism which, from the 1980s onwards, developed in response to Keynesianism and the welfare state. But this neoliberalism has expressions and relationships with other facets such as globalization, financial capitalism and continues in transition to what is now called cybernetic capitalism. Thus, the issue of disasters as indicators of crisis demands that we disaggregate the meaning and reality of neoliberalism as a practice. And after that, it is necessary to relate it to the risk factors that emerge in the practice of this particular ideology in terms of economics. And so having the ability to understand how the risk was constructed and, consequently, when that risk reaches the conditions of the given disaster, what is its role and how it indicates its relationship with the crisis of capitalism, based on an understanding of the process of social construction of risk. Keywords: Capitalism, crisis, systemic disasters, social construction of risk.

El capitalismo ha pasado por múltiples etapas a lo largo de la historia y en su última fase, más global, tenemos al neoliberalismo que, a partir de la década de 1980, se desarrolló como respuesta al keynesianismo y al estado de bienestar. Pero este neoliberalismo tiene expresiones y relaciones con otras facetas como la globalización, el capitalismo financiero y continúa en transición hacia lo que ahora se llama capitalismo cibernético. Así, el tema de los desastres como indicadores de crisis exige desagregar el significado y la realidad del neoliberalismo como práctica. Y después de eso, es necesario relacionarlo con los factores de riesgo que surgen en la práctica de esta ideología particular en términos económicos. Y así, tener la capacidad de comprender cómo se construyó el riesgo y, en consecuencia, cuándo ese riesgo llega a las condiciones del desastre dado, cuál es su rol y cómo indica su relación con la crisis del capitalismo, basado en una comprensión del proceso de construcción social del riesgo. Palabras clave: Capitalismo. Crisis. Desastres sistémicos. Construcción social del riesgo.O artigo trata da polêmica questão: seriam os desastres indícios da crise do capitalismo? O capitalismo passou por múltiplos estágios ao longo da história e, em sua última fase, mais global, temos o neoliberalismo que, dos anos 1980 em diante, se desenvolve em resposta ao keynesianismo e ao estado de bem-estar. Mas esse neoliberalismo tem expressões e relações com outras facetas como a globalização, o capitalismo financeiro e continua em transição para o que hoje se chama de capitalismo cibernético.  Assim, a questão dos desastres como indicadores de crise exige que desagreguemos o significado e a realidade do neoliberalismo como prática. E depois disso, é preciso relacioná-lo com os fatores de risco que emergem na prática dessa ideologia particular em termos de economia. E, então, ter a habilidade de entender como o risco foi construído e, consequentemente, quando esse risco atinge as condições do desastre dado, qual seu papel e como ele indica relação com a crise do capitalismo, baseando-se na compreensão do processo de construção social do risco.
