The book explores the emergence of cartoneros in post-crisis 2001 Argentina, highlighting their role as informal workers scavenging for subsistence amidst rising consumerism and waste. It contrasts cartoning with traditional waste collection, emphasizing its unplanned, unpaid nature and modest earnings. The phenomenon reflects broader social injustices and has evolved into a form of social and environmental management, showcasing unique self-management practices, leadership dynamics, and community interactions.
