English abstract
This paper (An anti-capitalist critique to the commodification and privatization of information in libraries funded by the public sector) criticises some of the adverse effects of the governments when they privatise and commodify the information financed by the public purse, such as the double increasing of that information that has already been funded by public funds when the researchers have already been paid, and then their publications are being sold by commercial enterprises whose results had already been generated and financed by government public funds.

Este artículo (Una crítica anti-capitalista a la comercialización y privatización de la información en bibliotecas financiadas por el sector público) critica algunos de los efectos dañinos cuando los gobiernos privatizan y mercantilizan la información financiada por el erario público, tales como el doble encarecimiento de la misma que ya ha sido financiada con fondos públicos al ser remunerados los investigadores y luego que sus publicaciones sean vendidas por empresas cuyos resultados ya habían sido generados y financiados con fondos gubernamentales.
