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 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 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

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

ABSTRACT In the last decade there has been a broad shift to the left in South America. However, different types of political economy regimes can be discerned within this general common trend. There is currently a relatively widespread consensus that two different varieties of centre-left administrations are in office in the region. Mainstream analyses distinguish … Read more
