RESUMEN La especificidad social de las mercancías, su forma de valor, tiene como su determinación más simple el que el trabajo abstracto materializado en ellas es representado como la capacidad de éstas para relacionarse entre sí en el cambio, y con ello relacionar a sus productores. Esta relación social fetichizada se desarrolla necesariamente en una … Leer más
RESUMEN The social specificity of commodities, their value-form, has its simplest determination in that the abstract labour materialised in them is represented as their capacity to relate among themselves in exchange, thus socially relating their producers. This fetishist social relation necessarily develops into a material production that has the valorization of value as its immediate … Leer más
RESUMEN En El Capital Marx da el nombre de trabajo abstracto al gasto fisiológico de cuerpo humano aplicado a producir valores de uso, cualquiera sea su tipo. Se trata, por lo tanto, de una Condición natural para la vida humana cualquiera sea la modalidad social que rija a ésta. Pero, cuando se lo realiza de … Leer más
RESUMEN 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 … Leer más
RESUMEN This paper critically examines I.I.

This unresolved tension, the authors claim, reflects a more general theoretical shortcoming in Rubin’s work, namely, … Leer más
RESUMEN The last 10 or 15 years have witnessed a renewed interest in Marx’s dialectical method and its implications for value theory. However, most works have not sufficiently thematized the peculiar role of the phase of analysis in Marx’s dialectical investigation generally and in his presentation in particular. Furthermore, they have not paid sufficient attention to the specific form of the … Leer más
RESUMEN Juan Iñigo Carrera’s chapter, ‘Method: from the Grundrisse to Capital’, explores the development of Marx’s method, from the 1840s onwards. Iñigo Carrera argues that the Grundrisse constitute a step in the development of an original method: the reproduction of the concrete by means of thought, as opposed to its representation – a method which, … Leer más
RESUMEN 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 … Leer más
RESUMEN This article offers a reply to Werner Bonefeld’s recent contribution to the debate on value and abstract labour, in which he critically engages with our previous articles dealing with these questions. We argue that Bonefeld’s criticisms are not simply based on disagreements over these controversial issues, but also on a misunderstanding of our stance … Leer más
