Abstract

This article intends to contribute to putting together some questions from a broad agenda of reflections that will allow to advance in the construction of some of the main theoretical and historical mediations for a better understanding of the expansive and contradictory dynamics of capitalism, emphasizing the role of money, platforms and social construction of markets in the current situation. Then it is pointed out how the relationship between money and markets can allow an approach that dialogues with the perspective of Platform Capitalism as a geohistorical context of operations of economic activities, calculations, and exchanges that are mediated by digital devices and technologies. Finally, it is argued that there are other variegated and polymorphic markets in the concrete reality of everyday life far beyond capitalist markets, which can constitute a promising horizon of alternatives for insurgent and emancipatory actions.
