Estado e capitalismo dependente

Abstract

The dissertation entitled “State and Dependent Capitalism” studies, from the theoretical framework of the Marxist Theory of Dependence (TMD), the specificities of the State in Latin American countries It analyzes the capitalist development of Latin American social formations using contributions from Latin American theorists such as Vânia Bambirra and Ruy Mauro Marini, based on Marx and Engels' critique of political economy. It is argued that the super-exploitation category serves as a basis for dependence, given the complex articulation between the law of value, theory of imperialism and the international division of labor. It is understood, in the examination, that the function of the political complex in these social formations of dependent capitalism, in particular the State, has particularities determined by the binomial dependence-superexploitation. The State acts to maintain the rupture of the cycle of reproduction of capital in dependent economies and to compensate for the transfers of value by economic and repressive intervention, guaranteeing the maintenance of super-exploitation, in addition to enabling, within the power bloc, the hegemony of the imperialist dominant classes.
