Resumo: |
Drugs as commodities and the (re)production control mechanisms in capitalist society is the object of this thesis. It is an explanatory bibliographic study that analyses drugs in capitalist society and their connection to capital accumulation. The answers to the central question To what extent do drugs keep capitalist accumulation?- indicate that drugs keep capitalist accumulation to the extent that they are used to impose mechanisms of domination in terms of economic, political and social points of view; - in capitalist society commodity production is performed to the satisfaction of others and not to the satisfaction of those who produce it; - being inserted in the spheres of production and circulation, drugs fulfill the value of the capital, which is a necessary requirement for capitalist accumulation; - such phenomenon in capitalist society is clearly defined at the end of the nineteenth to the twentieth century, but it is mostly from the 1970s that the production and circulation of drugs will boost the process of capitalist accumulation; - and that the production and circulation of drugs contributed to the increase in gross domestic product of countries considered as peripheral to the capitalist system. The indispensability of drug money could be verified in terms of economic and political crises of the capitalist system which, in the defined period (1970 through 1990), in Latin America, served the interests of a hegemonic policy intended for all countries. The finding focuses in Latin America, especially in Colombia, once it is the largest producer of cocaine. The particularity of Colombia has been recovered, in view of the fact that the production and circulation of drugs in that country reached such a dimension that it placed the country on the route of the world s largest producers and distributors of cocaine, in a context where the United States imposed its leadership through the war on drugs policy |
