Three Contributions to Dependency Theory: The Path to a Rereading of Marx

The article analyzes Latin America's role in the global geopolitical reordering from the perspective of Dependency Theory. Ruy Mauro Marini argues that Latin American capitalism is based on labor superexploitation and the export of cheap raw materials, benefiting central countries. Bolívar Echeverría explains that current accumulation relies on technological rent, where the monopoly of knowledge generates extraordinary profits and fosters provoked scarcity. Agustín Cueva highlights that dependence is, above all, a political issue linked to class struggle and the position of societies within the global system. Understanding current dependency requires considering these three approaches jointly.
