ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to reconstruct two significant debates on Marx’s explanation of ground-rent. The first debate concerns the source of surplus-value that constitutes ground-rent and is linked to the problem of the international flow of surplus-value between countries. The second discussion deals with the nature of differential rent II and is … Read more

ABSTRACT This chapter provides fresh insight into the ´old´ international division of labour and into the development of capitalism in ´resource rich´ countries whose longstanding historical role in the world market has been to produce ground rent bearing commodities. Following Chapter One, this chapter builds upon the notion of capital accumulation as being global in … Read more

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 The paper measures the size of primary-sector surpluses in the form of ground-rent appropriated by social subjects other than landowners in Brazil, and assesses their weight in supporting the process of capital accumulation during the period 1953–2008. For that purpose, the paper identifies the mechanisms through which state policies channelled a portion of ground-rent to capital, especially in the … Read more

ABSTRACT This paper critically examines the widespread belief that the early implementation of comprehensive land reforms prior to the industrialisation process, coupled with subsequent agrarian state policies channelling the intersectoral transfer of resources, has been a central determinant of East Asia’s (mainly Taiwan’s and South Korea’s) outperformance of Latin America. We argue that, although those … Read more
