centralizzazione del capitale, crisi economica, marxismoAbstract
Il possibile nesso tra crisi economiche e quello che Marx e Hilferding chiamavano "centralizzazione" del capitale è uno dei temi sollevati dalla "grande recessione". L'articolo esamina i principali studi dedicati a tale nesso, confrontando la letteratura economica marxista e mainstream. Viene analizzata una doppia relazione causale: entrambe riguardanti il ruolo della centralizzazione nel nutrire le contraddizioni del sistema capitalista e le sue crisi ricorrenti e l'impatto di queste crisi sul processo stesso di centralizzazione.
The possible nexus between economic crises and what Marx and Hilferding referred to as “centralisation” of capital is one of the themes raised by the “great recession”. The article reviews the main studies devoted to such a nexus, comparing the Marxist and mainstream economic literature. A double causal relation is analysed: both concerning the role of centralisation in feeding the contradictions of the capitalist system and its recurrent crises, and the impact of these crises on the very process of centralisation.
