Juan Iñigo Carrera

This second volume of Juan Iñigo Carrera's "Selected Articles" addresses and critiques the foundations of dependency theory and delves into the Marxist theory of land rent. This volume includes seven texts that represent an effort to characterize the current economic landscape of capitalism, revealing the true form in which capital accumulation manifests itself in Latin America and its contrast with other approaches within Marxism.

“The general unity of social organization is established indirectly in the process of circulation of individual capital, where the very antagonistic character of the process of socialization of private labor is manifested in the forms of competition and class struggle. General unity thus takes the concrete form of political and military relations. In these, the same general unity, that is, the unity of the movement of the total capital of society, must take the form of an objectified social relation whose action appears to have the power to impose itself over the antagonistic content, namely, the State.

Due to the very private nature of social labor, in the historical process of its socialization, global unity is born circumscribed by, and develops by circumscribing itself to, national processes of capital accumulation. That is, capital accumulation is, to this day, a national process in form. The national fragmentation of the total capital of society circumscribes its political representative nationally, determining the existence of national states.
