ABSTRACT In this paper we offer a critical reconstruction of the debate regarding Marx´s solution to the problem of complex labour determination in value production, as well as present an alternative solution that aims to be consistent with the foundations of Marx´s critique of political economy. The main argument is that, in the first place, differences … Read more

by

ABSTRACT This article offers a detailed comment on the fourth section of the first chapter of Marx’s Capital, in order to determine and specify what exactly is the so-called “commodity fetishism”. It is shown that in that section Marx is not dealing mainly with the misunderstanding of the commodity–form nor with the “reification” of social … Read more

ABSTRACT

This article examines the connection between Hegel’s and Marx’s respective dialectical methods in the light of the recent Marxist debates on the subject matter. It argues that the development of the Marxian critique of political economy cannot uncritically appropriate the content or the form of Hegel’s dialectical method. More specifically, the article submits that there is a “rational kernel” in Hegel’s work, which can be found in his discovery of self-movement as the simplest form taken by the real. However, insofar as he takes a pure thought-form as point of departure, which, moreover, results from an act of absolute abstraction, the aforementioned “rational kernel” becomes expounded under a “mystical shell”. As a consequence, his dialectic remains external to the movement of the real concrete.

by

ABSTRACT This article analyzes the trajectory of Brazilian society between the time of populist developmentalism and the emergence of neodevelopmentalism. Challenging mainstream accounts, it argues that the various policy regimes consolidating throughout the period have been forms of realization of the autonomously regulated process of capital accumulation on a global scale. More concretely, it is … Read more

by

ABSTRACT Some recent Marxist contributions, among them the so-called New Solution to the “transformation problem,” call into question the idea of labor-power as a fully-fledged commodity. Yet, the rejection of the commodity nature of labor-power compromises Marx’s whole explanation of the origin of surplus-value on the basis of the exchange of equivalents. It can be … Read more

ABSTRACT Del “que se vayan todos” a la Presidenta a ser reelecta con más del 50% de los votos media, sin duda, un cambio marcado respecto de las formas políticas que toma la acumulación de capital en Argentina. Pero, al mismo tiempo, ambas expresiones políticas no son sino dos momentos portadores de la unidad de … Read more

by

ABSTRACT Marx synthesises the relationship between the economic base and the political and juridical superstructure stating that the latter emerges from the former. The point is, then, to unfold the concrete form taken by this determination and, consequently, that of the determination of the consciousness with which free individuals govern their actions as organs of … Read more
