The book explores the adaptability of contemporary Latin American labor-based parties in the face of neoliberalism and declining working-class influence. It posits that loosely structured party organizations, exemplified by Argentina's Justicialista Party (PJ), are more flexible than traditional bureaucratic models. The analysis reveals how PJ's fluid internal dynamics enabled its transformation from a union-centric populist party to a proponent of radical market-oriented reforms, highlighting the significance of organizational structure in political resilience and evolution.
