A Latino American Requiem for Stafford Beer

This tribute to Stafford Beer is written from the particular situation of a Latin American country. Within this context, we believe that it could be convenient to dissolve the systems movement to assume an ethical‐political position that transforms the relations of dependence in the world‐system from the point of view of economic development. A contribution to this task is the formation of amplifiers of regulatory capacity that has been developed in Colombia. In this paper, we present some preliminary advances of autoethospoiesis and some of its future perspectives of research and action. One of our main objectives is to apply this functor with recurrent, recursive, and incursive operators to the world‐system model.
