Revisitando el debate marxista sobre el ‘derrumbe’ del capitalismo. Una crítica metodológica

Abstract

This paper offers a critical reconstruction of the Marxist controversy over the 'breakdown of capitalism' developed between the last decades of the nineteenth century and the decade of 1930. In particular, it focuses on how each position in debate conceived the connection between capitalist economic development and the revolutionary action of the working class. Then, it is argued that the recovery of some modern investigations on the dialectical method allows to offer a novel alternative position to the debate.
