RESUMEN In Chapter 9, Nicolas Grinberg offers an alternative account to the mainstream, institutionalist view on the state-led process of economic development in Brazil and South Korea. Focusing on the development of the Brazilian and Korean steel industries, Grinberg claims that the specific form of participation of each economy in the production of relative surplus-value … Leer más

RESUMEN 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 … Leer más

La détermination historique du mode de production capitaliste et de la classe ouvrière comme sujet révolutionnaire face à la fragmentation actuelle de la subjectivité productive de la force de travail. Presentado en el Congrès Marx International V, Université de Paris-X Nanterre.

RESUMEN Le capitalisme est le développement de la subjectivité humaine en transformant les puissances productives du travail libre individuel en ceux du travail social consciemment organisé par le travailleur collectif qui l´effectue comme travail privé. La classe ouvrière fait face à son produit propre, la capacité pour organiser scientifiquement la production, comme une puissance aliénée. … Leer más

Starosta, G. (2010c). The Outsourcing of Manufacturing and the Rise of Giant Global Contractors: A Marxian Approach to Some Recent Transformations of Global Value Chains. New Political Economy, 15(4), 543–563.

RESUMEN 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 … Leer más

Starosta, G. (2010a). Global commodity chains and the Marxian law of value. Antipode, 42(2), 433–465.

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

Grinberg, N. (2013b). The political economy of Brazilian (Latin American) and Korean (East Asian) comparative development: moving beyond nation-centred approaches. New Political Economy, 18(2), 171–197.

RESUMEN The article argues that in order to grasp fully Brazilian and Korean post-WWII developmental and growth experiences, it is first necessary to account for global-economy dynamics and the transformations in the International Division of Labour. These, together with local factors that particularly affect the objective conditions for the valorisation of capital in different productive … Leer más

RESUMEN Guido Starosta’s chapter, ‘The System of Machinery and Determinations of Revolutionary Subjectivity in the Grundrisse and Capital’, argues that Marx’s exposition of the forms of the real subsumption of labour to capital – in particular, the system of machinery of large-scale industry – constitutes the dialectical presentation of the determinations of revolutionary subjectivity. Starosta … Leer más

After arguing that the key to overcoming their intrinsic problems is to be found in the critical revision of Fröbel, Heinrichs and Kreye’s New International Division of … Leer más
