In this theory, this dynamic and the apparent ontological centrality of work are the subject of criticism and not its starting point: it is explicitly stated that this is a historical specific approach and calls into question all those approaches that claim their universal and trans-historical validity. Within this framework, the duality of the commodity-form as value and usevalue underlies the duality of the capital-form as a valorization process and a work process. This duality generates a dialectical interaction that results in a complex temporary dynamic that pushes the creation of value forward and, at the same time, becomes increasingly anachronistic. The long-term trend of this historical display is resolved by the obsolescence of production based on work time, value and proletarian labour – Marx stated that the abolition of capitalism will not mean the proletariat’s self-fulfillment but its self-abolition. This possibility currently emerges in an inverted way: the increase of superfluous work, unemployment and precariousness; the transformation of increasingly life dimensions in different forms of alleged wealth – related to prices and profits – EL CAPITAL DE MARX: 151 AÑOS DEL LIBRO I 45 that would supposedly guarantee the future liquidation of increasingly complex financial instruments (as if wealth was independent from value in capitalism). This article analyses the end of the post-war Keynesian-fordist capitalism, boosted by economic crises, as an expression of the cyclic crisis of the valorization process.
