Entre a regulação da superpopulação relativa e a atenuação das desigualdades sociais : uma análise da funcionalidade dos programas de inclusão produtiva no Brasil

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the connections between the regulation of relative overpopulation and the attenuation of social inequalities, especially in their manifestations expressed in the accentuation of poverty and unemployment. The study of productive inclusion programs aims to understand their functionality in the Brazilian scenario and analyze the deep contradictions that circumscribe the context of their operation in the axis of social protection for the working class. It considers the structural crisis of capitalism in the context of financialization, globalization and overexploitation of the workforce as essential to the reflections of this study. The perspective that guides our analysis is based on the historical-dialectical materialist method and the Marxist theory of dependency, with the aim of uncovering concepts, theoretical polemics and some contradictions between the productive inclusion programs and the mitigation of social inequalities. Everything leads us to believe that in the current scenario of contemporary Brazilian dependent and peripheral capitalism there is a strengthening of the political and economic project of the ruling class to the detriment of political measures to combat social inequality.
