Abstract

This article briefly presents an interpretation about the contemporarycapitalism and shows de relevance of the productive labor concept for theoperation of the system. This Marxist concept is discussed presenting the individualand isolated act perspective (appearance) versus the entire perspective ofreproduction of the system (essence). Therefore, in other conclusion, replacesthe assertive “productive labor is the one that produces plus-value” by the other:“it is productive the labor that produces profit to the capital”.
