          Abstract

          Resumen: El presente artículo argumenta que la globalización no conduce necesariamente a un sistema mundial de economías capitalistas. Bajo condiciones prevalecientes de desempoderamiento de la clase trabajadora, el capitalismo es demasiado débil para transformar economías subdesarrolladas basadas en rentas. La globalización es impulsada por la devaluación de la moneda transformando la nueva ventaja comparativa en competitividad de costos. El controlador de la devaluación, el pleno empleo, no funciona en la mayoría de los casos. Para globalizar el capitalismo, la clase trabajadora en el Hemisferio Sur tendría que empoderarse. Se concluirá que: a nivel teórico, una concepción neoliberal del capitalismo contrario al keynesianismo bloquea la comprensión de la importancia del consumo de masas para mantener al capitalismo. A nivel político, los movimientos de masas existentes en el Hemisferio Sur son capturados por el nacionalismo secular o cultural. Surge un sistema multipolar fragmentado donde los gobiernos promueven la búsqueda de rentas.

          Abstract: Globalization does not necessarily lead to a world system of capitalist economies. Under the prevailing conditions of labor disempowerment, capitalism is too weak to transform rent-based underdeveloped economies. Globalization is driven by currency devaluation which transforms new comparative advantage into cost competitiveness. The major check on devaluation, full employment does not work in most cases. In order to globalize capitalism, labor in the South would have to be empowered. At theoretical level, a neoliberal understanding of capitalism as against Keynesianism blocks an understanding of the importance of mass consumption to maintain capitalism. At political level, mass movements, where they exist in the South, are captured by secular or cultural nationalism. An increasingly fragmented multipolar system emerges where rent-seeking is promoted by governments.

            Rising mass incomes as a condition of capitalist growth: implications for the world economy

            The rise of capitalism in Western Europe was based on rising mass incomes and a political power relationship favorable to the lower classes, which created opportunities for profitable investment. Nowhere in today's underdeveloped world did such conditions exist before the European expansion; nowhere were they created by the mere fact of integration into the capitalist world system. Thus the periphery has been ever more disadvantaged by its connection with the capitalist center. But the center could and can dispense withthe contribution of the periphery and, indeed, on occasion has done so. A planned restructuring of the productive apparatus and social reform in the Third World are both complex and contradictory processes. The working class in the North has to realize its interest in defending the masses of the Third World. It can do so by linking economic concessions in the North-South dialogue (raw material prices or access to markets) to social reform and the creation of a productive apparatus that permits the rise of mass incomes in the Third World.
