This article derives from the "Pedagogical Paradigms in Colombia, 1970-2000" research project, which was sponsored by Colciencias. The research subproject I led aimed at researching the contributions of popular education in Colombia to pedagogy. Through the development of the research we found statements derived from popular education that closely matched current statements of big corporations today. These finding led us to suggest that even today pedagogy is produced by and to support capitalism. Pedagogy is rooted in some principles that used to be frequent in emancipation discourses, which looked to educate critical citizens, capable of questioning capitalism system. Now we ask, what is the meaning of thinking about pedagogy today?

Keywords : Pedagogy; posmodernity; school; capitalism.
