As bases ontológicas materiais da pobreza no capitalismo e a sua relação com a ”questão social”

Abstract

The present dissertation makes an analysis of the ontological bases poverty materials on capitalism and their relationship with the "social question". Emphasizes the understanding of the foundations of the capitalist mode of production, which has at its root the exploitation, social inequality and private property as essential elements of that system. To understand the essence of capitalism is analyzed, first, the Foundation of all modes of production: the work. It is through him that the man can transform nature in material goods necessary for their social reproduction. It also addresses, from the analysis of "the so-called Primitive Accumulation" by Karl Marx in Das Kapital, the fundamentals of poverty on capitalism. In previous societies, this phenomenon was associated with the penury of the productive forces; in the capitalist mode of production specifically, poverty, despite the high development of the productive forces, grows to a large extent in line with the increase of wealth. Seeks to specify the relationship of poverty with the "social question", based on the "general law of Capitalist Accumulation", because this law allows the seizure and the understanding of the "social question", which is linked to the contradictions arising from the capital-labor ratio. Finally, try to perform a historical-critical analysis of the phenomenon of poverty and introduction of his relationship with the "social question" in the development of the Capitalist mode of production. When doing this, emphasize some of today's issues, particularly in Brazil, which prove the predominance of the "social question" and poverty as an expression of this under new bases, but in essence the same Foundation: social inequality, the typical exploitation of capitalist society and private property.
