Mercadoria e forma do valor: notas sobre o dinheiro em Marx

Resumo

The article concerns the recent debate about Marx's concept of
money, involving two opposite interpretations of his theory. One of these
interpretations affirms that Marx's concept of money is necessarily
connected with a money-commodity, and also that this connection doesn't
mean a rejection of the theory to understand contemporary events. On the
other side, the second interpretation considers money as an abstract
concept, which is historically manifested by different and specific kinds of
money-commodities, but it doesn't get mixed up with them. The article
attempts to structure the points at issue around three central aspects:
methodological, theoretical and historical, trying to clarify the source of
the disagreement between the two interpretations.
