CUEVA PERUS, Marcos. Para una antropología del parásito social. Cuicuilco [online]. 2008, vol.15, n.43, pp. 11-31. ISSN 0185-1659.

This work is a research about social parasitism. There's not a good bibliography on this subject, but it's posible to ask for an antropology of the social parasite using disciplines like Economy, Sociology and Social Psychology, and using too some authors in the border of the antropology. Our work is also an historical one. We can establish that the problem of social parasitism was born at the end of the 19th century, and that now is more or least a general one. Nowadays, the parasite is the perverse. At the same time, USA becomed the land of parasitism. We consider that our work opens a good perspectiva to future research on this subject.
