ABSTRACT El auge de la llamada nueva división internacional del trabajo parecía haber sumido en la irrelevancia histórica a los procesos nacionales de acumulación de capital caracterizados por la producción de mercancías primarias con destino al mercado mundial (hoy, incluyendo su procesamiento primario, en particular cuando éste resulta fuertemente contaminante) y un mayor o menor … Read more

ABSTRACT La acumulación de capital en la gran industria transforma la materialidad del trabajo, determinando a la subjetividad productiva de los obreros de tres modos divergentes: degrada la aplicada al trabajo simplificado; desarrolla la aplicada al control científico de las fuerzas naturales; destruye la de la población obrera a la que determina como sobrante. Mediante … Read more

ABSTRACT In Chap. 4 , Guido Starosta turns his attention to the task of the critical reconstruction of the NIDL thesis. While acknowledging the insights of the original thesis, Starosta argues that the foundation for the emergence of the NIDL does not reside in the intensification of the manufacturing division of labour, that is, in … Read more

ABSTRACT This chapter introduces Juan Iñigo Carrera’s take on the NIDL. In it, Iñigo Carrera proceeds from a particular point of departure, that is, from the global process of accumulation in its organic unity, and within which distinct national processes of accumulation emerge as specific concrete forms of that same global process. He argues that … Read more

Whilst neo-liberal economists have tended to explain the Irish experience of rapid growth in terms of the adoption of … Read more

While the former have seen the resuscitation of pseudo-import-substitution-industrialization policies by neopopulist governments, the latter are increasingly attached to the neoliberal project. … Read more
