Abstract
The necessities of the expanded reproduction of capitalism result in the articulation of the capitalist mode of production with ‘precapitalist’ modes. The nature of this articulation and its consequences for the ‘pre-capitalist’ mode of production is a function, first and predominantly, of the needs of the capitalist mode and second, of the internal structure of the ‘pre-capitalist’ mode. This proposition is demonstrated through an examination and critique of Rosa Luxemburg and of Pierre-Phillipe Rey and is illustrated by two contrasting examples of the articulation of capitalism with two different ‘pre-capitalist’ modes of production in Peru.Keywords
