O estágio último do capital: a crise e a dominação do capital financeiro no mundo

Abstract

Within the scope of this article, we have analyzed the various elements of the wave of transformations that have occurred within the global capitalist economy in recent decades. These transformations resulted from counter-trend measures aimed at blocking and overcoming the structural crisis stemming from the exhaustion of long-term growth in the post-World War II era. Contradictorily, while the changes introduced proved to be powerful innovative levers in the productive and financial spheres, they also carried profoundly regressive content. Capitalism has been profoundly transformed, but without the consolidation of a new solid base to increasingly remunerate large capital, replacing the cycle that ended in the early 1970s. "Underdeveloped" and "emerging" countries reproduce, with some specificities, these contradictions under the domination of finance capital. Consequently, the new model of capitalist reproduction in the present time exhibits visible limitations. It prolongs the organic crisis that unfolds into regressions threatening the destinies of humanity, but not without creating new bases for an anti-capitalist overcoming.
