CHINA CAPITALISTA E INTENSIFICAÇÃO DO DESEMPREGO MUNDIAL

Abstract

The present text briefly seeks to highlight how China's insertion into capitalist relations constituted a powerful mechanism to leverage the real subsumption of capital over labor and deepen unemployment on an international scale. In the course of this article, it will be sought to point out how the spoliations implemented by the privatization of state companies and the exploitation of millions of Chinese peasants, expropriated from their lands and inserted into the capitalist mode of production, served to exacerbate the competition of workers among themselves and universalization the lowering of the value of the workforce. In this illuminating movement, we will resort to borrowings from the analyzes developed by Karl Marx, François Chesnais, István Mészáros, David Harvey and Souza Renildo about the anatomy of chronic unemployment in the structure of the capital system, as a manifestation of its absolute limits, in the particularity of the so-called “Chinese economic miracle”.
