O capital especulativo parasitário: uma precisão teórica sobre o capital financeiro, característico da globalização

Reinaldo Antônio Carcanholo, Paulo Nakatani

Resumo


The inaccurate idea of finance capital, widely used in the recent
analysis on the process of globalization, leads us to an effort on the
theoretical determination of the concept of speculative capital, from a
strictly Marxist point of view. Thus, the analysis begins with a precision
about the concepts of capital, industrial capital and its functional forms,
interest-bearing capital and fictitious capital. Therefore, we come to the
conclusion that, in the specific conditions of contemporary capitalism, the
concept of industrial capital becomes, dialectically, speculative capital
and that its major functional form is the parasitic speculative capital. The
dominance of the speculative capital determines contradictions capable
of explaining the current crisis of capitalism.
