Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACT In the nineteenth century, money appear primarily as gold. In the twenty-first century, it appears as strictly fiduciary money. It is known that Marx said very clearly that the golden money was the effective basis of the monetary and credit system. Had the historical development finally shown that his theory of value and money would be false? Marxists have struggled continually with this problem. This paper tries to show that exist a simple and good answer to this crucial question. It comes just developing a little the dialectics of commodities and money found on Marx's Capital.
RESUMO No século XIX, o dinheiro figurava sobretudo como ouro. No século XXI, ele aparece como estritamente fiduciário. Ora, Marx disse com toda a clareza que o dinheiro-ouro era a base efetiva do sistema monetário e de crédito. Teria o desenvolvimento histórico mostrado finalmente que a sua teoria do valor e do dinheiro seria falsa? Os marxistas têm se debatido continuamente com essa questão. O artigo procura mostrar que existe uma simples e boa resposta para essa dúvida crucial. Ela surge apenas desenvolvendo um pouco a dialética da mercadoria e do dinheiro que se encontra em O Capital. |
