| Sumario: | Las grietas de la desigualdad, by Juan Pablo Pérez Sáinz is a book that interrogates escalating social asymmetries in Costa Rica through a structural lens challenging traditional redistributive frameworks. Pérez Sáinz centers inequality on power relations, distributive contestations, and frictions between social classes and intersecting categories. Shifting focus from outcomes to systemic roots, he highlights relations of exploitation and capital accumulation. The study dissects the heterogeneous Costa Rican labor market, reassesses the free trade zone model, scrutinizes neoliberal individualization, and integrates gender, migration, and territoriality. Distinguished by empirical rigor, theoretical sophistication, and ethical commitment, this volume is an essential contribution to advancing sociological understanding of inequality in Costa Rica.
