Abstract

[The chapter provides fresh insight into the ‘old’ international division of labour and especially into the countries whose long-standing historical role has been to produce ground‐rent‐bearing, primary, commodities. Building upon the notion of capital accumulation as being global in content and national in form, Caligaris challenges the dominant perspective that explains the specific characteristics of those countries as the result of domestic politics, foreign influence and domination, or unequal exchange. He instead advances an original approach based on the recognition that ground‐rent is essentially constituted by the surplus‐value resulting from the valorisation of industrial capitals abroad and which flows into the countries supplying the raw materials. The latter section uses empirical evidence from the case of Argentina to illustrate the core argument.]
