“…The increase in petroleum income and its direct collection by the national government allowed it to finance a significant expansion in social policies. Recent studies (Aponte Blank, 2010; Seiffer, Kornblihtt, and de Luca, 2012) show that social expenditures in Venezuela increased, especially with Chávez’s second term, multiplying real social expenditures per inhabitant fivefold relative to 1990s levels. Chávez’s administration was, more than any previous government, characterized by a welfare policy aimed at caring for the surplus working-class population vis-à-vis capital consolidated in Venezuela.…”

The current crisis in Venezuela is sometimes said to have been provoked by the response of imperialism and the local oligarchy to the fundamental changes in economic and political relations fostered during the administrations of Hugo Chávez. A quantitative study using various statistical sources shows that the significant increase in oil rent during the Chávez presidency did not translate into a qualitative transformation in the form of state intervention and that, although social expenditures increased in that period, most of the income that allowed this was obtained through currency overvaluation by inefficient national and foreign capital. The current crisis is, therefore, evidence of the limits of low-productivity state and private capital reproduction due to the decline in oil prices rather than of a conflict between overcoming and reproducing capitalism in an alleged “economic war.” A veces se dice que la crisis actual en Venezuela ha sido provocada por la respuesta del imperialismo y la oligarquía local a los cambios profundos en las relaciones económicas y políticas promovidos durante la administración de Hugo Chávez. Un estudio cuantitativo en el que se usaron diferentes fuentes estadísticas demuestra que el aumento significativo en la renta del petróleo durante la presidencia de Chávez no se tradujo en una transformación cualitativa de la intervención estatal y que, aunque los gastos sociales aumentaron en ese período, la mayor parte del ingreso que permitió ese aumento se obtuvo por medio de la sobrevaluación de la moneda por parte del ineficiente capital nacional y extranjero. Por lo tanto, la crisis actual es evidencia de los límites de la baja productividad de la reproducción estatal y privada debido a la caída en el precio del petróleo y no un conflicto entre la eliminación y la reproducción del capitalismo en una supuesta “guerra económica.”

“…Por otra parte, se consolida una transformación del gasto social como expresión del salario indirecto: se contrae en términos relativos el gasto destinado a salud, educación y vivienda, para dar lugar al crecimiento del componente asistencial de la política social. Se trata de aquel dirigido a las fracciones de los obreros que no logran vender su fuerza de trabajo o a quienes lo hacen en condiciones que nos les alcanza para sostener a su familia (Seiffer, Kornblihtt & De Luca, 2012).…”

“…La mencionada expansión de la asistencia social va dirigida, en parte, a compensar estos salarios que no alcanzan para sobrevivir. No constituye un ingreso que permite transformar la situación; solo compensarla (Seiffer, Kornblihtt & De Luca, 2012).…”

<p>El artículo analiza la evolución del salario real de la clase obrera argentina entre 1950 y la actualidad. En general, los análisis del salario en Argentina señalan a la dictadura militar, instaurada en 1976, como el punto de quiebre y el momento de persistente disminución. En este sentido, se abona la idea según la cual el cambio de modelo neoliberal sería el causante de esa baja. Sin embargo, como veremos en este artículo, en las décadas previas a la dictadura el salario real, aunque se mantiene, disminuyó en relación con los salarios reales de los países con los cuales compartía su evolución. Uno de los resultados principales refuerza los estudios que muestran la disminución del salario en relación con los países más ricos, como una de las fuentes de ganancia extraordinaria que compensa, junto a la renta de la tierra y la deuda externa, la baja competitividad del capital radicado en el país. Esta tendencia no se revierte durante la década del 2000, aunque haya una recuperación del salario.</p>

“…Again, he makes clear, through a theoretical analysis, that unemployment is a natural consequence of mechanization, and that it is, therefore, a problem inherent to capitalism. In this matter Braverman was ahead of other authors that have recently renewed the studies upon relative surplus population (NEILSON, 2007;NEILSON and STUBBS, 2011;SEIFFER, KORNBLIHTT and DE LUCA, 2012;KABAT, 2009;2014). …”

Braverman is considered an unquestionable reference of Marxist labour process. The objective of this paper is to show that despite Braverman's undeniable achievements he forsakes the classical Marxist notions related to work organization, i. e. simple cooperation, manufacture and large-scale industry and replaces them with the notion of Taylorism. We also intend to show that because of this abandonment, Braverman cannot explain properly how the deskilling tendency operates in different historical periods, and in distinct industry branches. Finally, we try to demonstrate that those Marxist concepts neglected by Braverman are especially useful to understand labor unrest related to job organization. Braverman overvalues the incidence of labor fragmentation and direct forms of control and disregards the impact of mechanization achieved with the emergence of Large-scale industry and the new forms of control associated with it. Whereas Braverman's allegedly Marxist orthodoxy is considered responsible for this, in fact, exactly the opposite can be asserted: the weaknesses of the otherwise noteworthy work of Harry Braverman are grounded in his relinquishment of some crucial Marxist concepts. We state that labor processes conventionally considered Taylorist or Fordist can be reconceptualized in Marxist classic terms allowing a better understanding of the dynamic of conflicts regarding labor process.Keywords: Labor process. Politics. Marxism. Regulationism. Workers' Struggles. ResumoBraverman é considerado uma referência inquestionável do processo de trabalho marxista. O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar que, apesar das contribuições inegáveis de Braverman ele abandona as noções marxistas clássicas relacionadas à organização do trabalho, a saber, cooperação simples, manufatura e grande-indústria e substituí-las com a noção do taylorismo. Também pretendemos mostrar que, por causa desse abandono, Braverman não pode explicar adequadamente como a tendência desqualificação opera em diferentes períodos históricos, e em ramos da indústria distintas. Por fim, tentamos demonstrar que esses conceitos marxistas negligenciados por Braverman são especialmente úteis para compreender problemas trabalhistas relacionados com a organização do trabalho. Braverman supervaloriza a incidência de fragmentação do trabalho e formas diretas de controle e desconsidera o impacto da mecanização alcançado com o surgimento da indústria em grande escala e as novas formas de controle associados.
