Marx and Socially Necessary Labor Time. On the Content and Form of the Quantitative Determination of Value
This article revisits the debates on socially necessary labor-time (SNLT) in the light of contemporary discussions of Marx ́s value-theory, which have tended to move from a rather narrow focus on the explanation of the economic basis of the exploitation of wage-workers, to a wider critical inquiry into the social constitution of alienated forms of mediation that structure capitalist society. Moreover, this re-examination of SNLT draws on a novel …
Wages, Price, and Profit
The expansion of the automotive industry in Argentina and Brazil and its regional integration can be attributed to determinants that differentiate them from other contemporary regionalization processes. Their limited scales of production, outmoded technology, and lower productivity levels than the average in the world market and the inward orientation of regional industry are shared characteristics of the two national processes of capital accumul…
A missing link in the agrarian question
This article examines the relevance of ground-rent and landed property for the economic and political forms of capital accumulation in Argentina. This specific focus on capitalist development in Argentina is more broadly framed as a theoretical intervention within recent debates on Agrarian Marxism, which addresses the major issues under controversy through the lenses of an original methodologically-minded approach to the Marxian critique of poli…
Una mercancía “como cualquier otra”? Reexaminando la determinación del valor de la fuerza de trabajo
Este artículo aborda la cuestión del proceso de producción de la fuerza de trabajo con el objetivo de reexaminar la postura de Marx sobre la determinación del valor de esta ‘mercancía peculiar’. En pos de ello, se revisan críticamente los principales aportes que han cuestionado el análisis marxiano de dicho fenómeno, para luego ofrecer una línea argumental alternativa que da fundamentos adicionales a la explicación de Marx acerca de la determinac…
Rethinking the Determination of the Value of Labor Power
This article critically examines the received wisdom on the value of labor power that posits the workers’ material reproduction and the class struggle as two independent factors that determine the bundle of wage-goods consumed by the working class. It shows that this reading has no solid textual basis on Marx’s writings. Furthermore, it argues that it rests on a problematic separation of the actual immanent unity between materiality and social fo…
Global capital, uneven development and national difference
A recent Special Issue in this journal devoted its pages to discuss the varied forms of capitalist development in different countries and regions across the globe. Specifically, the contributions offered a critical assessment of the hegemonic 'neo-institutionalist' approach to the study of national diversity of capitalism, with particular focus on the 'varieties of capitalism' approach. This article critically engages with the different alternati…
La industria automotriz argentina y sus fuentes de ganancia
Este trabajo estudia el desarrollo histórico de la industria automotriz argentina desde 1960 hasta 2013. El argumento principal es que la valorización del capital de las empresas multinacionales que operan localmente tiene una forma específica o distintiva respecto de otros casos nacionales. Esta especificidad consiste, esencialmente, en la apropiación de renta de la tierra agraria por el capital industrial automotriz a través de dos mecanismos p…
