Iñigo Carrera, J. (2004). La crisis de la representación política como forma concreta de reproducirse la base específica de la acumulación de capital en Argentina. Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Economia Política, (15), 62–87.

by

ABSTRACT En Argentina, la acumulación se centra en capitales extranjeros que se restringen al mercado interno gracias a apropiar renta de la tierra, plusvalía liberada por los pequeños capitales y, sobre todo, pagar la fuerza de trabajo por debajo de su valor. Esta base contrajo el producto total de valor desde los 80, pese al … Read more

by

ABSTRACT This article aims to show that the Marxian ‘law of value’ can provide solid foundations for the comprehension of the constitution and dynamics of Global Value Chains (GVC). It offers an explanation of the social processes of ‘value creation and capture’ within a chain based on the system-wide motion of global capital accumulation. A … Read more

Starosta, G. (2010b). Marx studies in the Anglophone world. Fenomenologia e societa’, (3), 11–17.

by

ABSTRACT Contemporary Marx scholarship in the Anglophone world revolves around the consolidation and refinement of certain themes and perspectives whose origins can be traced back to the late 1970s and early 1980s. These debates around Marx’s intellectual legacy have entailed both a methodological and a substantive re-examination of his major scientific work: Capital. This paper offers … Read more

by

ABSTRACT This paper develops a Marxian critique of the “global commodity chain” (GCC) paradigm. It is argued that this approach fails to provide an actual explanation of the phenomenon it sets about to investigate. Instead, it offers a typological description of the immediate manifestations of the determinations at stake. As a consequence, the GCC approach … Read more

by

ABSTRACT The current political and economic situation in Latin America is characterised by a marked difference between South American countries, on one side, and Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, on the other. 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

by

ABSTRACT El artículo parte de analizar las dos principales determinaciones que le dan a la acumulación de capital su forma cíclica más general: los movimientos de la tasa general de ganancia según la evolución relativa de la productividad del trabajo y la composición orgánica del capital con el desarrollo de la producción de plusvalía relativa, … Read more

Starosta, G. (2007b). Value form and class struggle: A critique of the autonomist theory of value. (en colaboración con Kicillof, A.) Capital & Class, 31(2), 13–40.

by

ABSTRACT This paper develops a critique of the ‘class struggle’ theory of value that emerged out of the autonomist Marxist tradition, arguing that although this theory has the merit of putting forward a production-centred, value-form approach, it eventually fails to grasp the determinations of value-producing labour. In particular, the notion of value as a mode of existence of the class struggle inverts … Read more
