Capitalismo dependente, superexploração da força de trabalho e uberização

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate how economic and social relations unfold in contemporary capitalism, based on the theoretical foundation of the Marxist theory of dependency (TMD). With an emphasis on the process of uberisation, it seeks to understand how it manifests itself through the mechanisms of super-exploitation of the workforce, which is a specific type of labour relationship experienced in dependent capitalist countries. To this end, a review of how history and legislation influence this process was carried out. The study was based on bibliographical research and also included a review of data from Brazilian research institutes in order to understand how this process is reflected in society. The results show that in countries dependent on uberisation, combined with neoliberal policies that intensify labour relations, the situation faced by the working class is even more challenging.
