Marxist dependency theory: the theoretical contribution by Ruy Mauro Marini

Authors

Abstract

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss the two most important cathegories proposed by Ruy Mauro Marini – the workforce superexploitation and the subimperialism – and its relevance for understanding the especificities of the capitalist development in the peripheral and dependent latin-american countries, considering the role played for those countries in the internacional divison of labour. Furthermore, we will highlight the importance of the political aspects in Marini’s theory, and how those two cathegories are central in his critical interpretation on the political, economic and social problems of latin-american countries. Problems which could be solved only from the overcoming of the capitalist mode of production.

Keywords: marxist theory of dependency; dependent capitalism; peripheral capitalism; workforce superexploitation; subimperialism.
