O desenvolvimento da forma-valor e a explicação do dinheiro em O capital de Karl Marx

Abstract

In my contribution, I discuss Marx’ explication of money in the context of the development of the form of value in four moments: The first instance emphasizes the significance and the importance of the development of the form of value for the explication of the money in the Capital. The second step systematically deals with the transition of the analysis of the commodity to the development of the form of value. Thirdly, we represent in form of thesis the development of the form of value of the second edition in their difference to the first edition of the Capital and recognize its advantage for the explication of money. The contribution defends the thesis that the money is the generally binding objective existence of the value, the private, exclusive social power of disposition over the social wealth. The source of the money-value of products is the abstract human labor behaving indifferently against its character as concrete useful labor and therefore only valued according to its respectively average temporal expenditure. Finally, I explain the significance of the difference in the development of the forms of value and the explication of money between the first and second edition of the Capital by means of schemes.
