As formas históricas da superexploração da força de trabalho e a dialética da dependência latino-americana

Abstract

Unequal exchanges and the transfer of value arise in Marini's theory as the origin of the dependence of peripheral countries. Already the overexploitation mechanisms of the labor force appear as the form of lost value recovery in international trade, and present by increasing the intensity of work, extension of working hours and the appropriation by the capitalist, portion of the worker's consumption fund. Once the theoretical recovery of these two key categories of the theory of Marxist dependency has been set –unequal exchange and overexploitation of the workforce–, this article is dedicated to explaining how to combine the historical forms of overexploitation of the workforce and the Latin American development models economic. It also emphasizes neoliberalism as the current historical form of dependence, whose overexploitation appears through the informality, flexibility and deregulation of work.
