Abstract
La tesis de investigación titulada: “Acumulación originaria: Explotación laboral y generación de ganancia en la minería en México” tiene como objetivo demostrar la existencia de la acumulación originaria como forma iterativa y necesaria para la generación del plusvalor en el sistema productivo capitalista, para ello se analizó el sector minero mexicano durante el periodo de 1980 a 2013. El concepto de acumulación originaria es de origen marxista y ha sido ampliamente debatido desde su presentación en el siglo XIX, hasta el presente. Sin embargo, el actual debate gira en torno a la relación entre la finalidad práctica de la acumulación ordinaria y las formas productivas que actualmente se encuentran en ejecución de forma intensiva, tales como el extractivismo de los recursos naturales –minerales-1. Es en esta perspectiva que se realiza un análisis teórico, histórico, legal y económico del escenario mexicano con la finalidad de encontrar una vinculación entre el nivel de explotación, la elevada cantidad de concesiones mineras y el incremento sustancial en la tasa de ganancia que esta actividad genera. De forma que se coincide con Marx en cuanto a su planteamiento y análisis teórico. Por otro lado, se utilizaron variables estadísticas (tales como el valor agregado, las remuneraciones a asalariados, el excedente bruto de operación, los costos intermedios, el consumo de capital fijo, entre otras) que pudieran ser útiles para cumplir con el objetivo de la tesis. En esta lógica la tasa de explotación laboral y la tasa de ganancia se vinculan a una cuestión de fondo más amplia que el análisis del proceso de acumulación originaria, pues la relación de estas tres cuestiones subyace el conjunto de la producción y explotación de un sector económico en el que confluyen cientos de miles de proletariados...
The research thesis entitled: “Primitive accumulation: Labor exploitation and generation of profits in the Mexican mining” aims to demonstrate the existence of primitive accumulation as iteratively and necessary for the generation of surplus value in the capitalist production system, for which the Mexican mining sector was analyzed during the period 1980-2013. The concept of primitive accumulation is Marxist origin and has been widely debated since its introduction in the XIX century to the present. However, the current debate resolves around the relationship between the practical purpose of primitive accumulation and the productive forms that are currently running intensively, such as the extraction of the natural resources2. It is in this perspective that I did a theoretical, historical, legal and economic analysis of the Mexican scene in order to find a link between the exploitation level, the high number of mining concessions and the substantial increase in the rate of profit this activity generates. So, it coincides with Marxs in his approach and theoretical analysis. By other side, were used statistical variables (such as value added, employees’ salary, gross operating surplus, intermediate costs, fixed capital consumption, etc.) that might be useful to meet the objective of this thesis. In this logic, the exploitation and the profit rate are linked to a broader issue of substantive analysis of the process of primitive accumulation, because the relation of these issues underlying the whole of the production and the exploitation of an economic sector at the crossroads of hundreds of thousands of proletarians...
