A case of formless capitalism in the field: dialectic of progress in agriculture and relation between capitalism in a string of Karl Marx

Abstract

The general objective of this paper is to test a first approximation on the evolution and context of text production of Marx, from his work as a longer-term Capital, -solely in Book III, and even more, especially the section of ground rent –that is irreducibly marked by an unfinished building. In this opportunity, we intend to accumulate and to detail some theoretical and methodological considerations, i.e., precautions "to avoid misunderstandings", as Marx pointed out, carried out more systematically in Chapter 37. The central hypothesis is that the issue of ground rent is constructed from a nonlinear representation of historical development, especially for an approach that includes a critique of the abstract notion ofprogress and the relationship of combined and uneven development, which can serve as a starting point for the contemporary problems of agriculture and capitalism, especially in so-called sub-peripheral capitalist systems. Such construction disqualify onceand for all the understanding of these critical passages as eternal categories, typical of linear and optimistic visions of the marxist positivist.
