Abstract

El artículo se propone darle continuidad a las propuestas teóricas hechas en dos ar-tículos anteriores, en los que se sostuvo la existencia de una relación entre el proceso de acumulación de capital, la inequidad en la distribución del ingreso nacional entre los facto-res de la producción, y por tanto el desequilibrio en el uso de éstos. Así, el objetivo que se propone analizar y discutir este trabajo es el proceso de acumulación de capital para descu-brir en él las relaciones implícitas que lo determinan, y que lo conducen a generar una es-tructura de remuneraciones a los factores que no corresponde con las necesidades y recur-sos de la población. Se propone entonces la acumulación de capital como un proceso que resulta en la formación de un Fondo de Acumulación Redundante y un Fondo de Consumo Redundante que debilitan las condiciones del libre mercado, y a lo que denominamos la “endogenización” de la competencia. Se concluye con algunas ideas para evitar que el pro-ceso productivo se oriente hacia la creación de dichos Fondos y desarrollar una estructura económica más eficiente y eficaz.

English Abstract: The article intends to give continuity to the theoretical proposals made in two previ-ous articles, in which the existence of a relationship between the process of capital accumu-lation, the inequity in the distribution of national income among the factors of production, and therefore the imbalance in the use of these. Thus, the objective that is proposed to ana-lyze and discuss this work is the process of capital accumulation itself to discover the im-plicit relationships that determine it, and that lead it to generate a structure of factors of production’s remuneration that does not correspond with the needs and resources of the population. The accumulation of capital is then proposed as a process that results in the formation of a Redundant Accumulation Fund and a Redundant Consumption Fund that weaken the conditions of the free market, and what we call the "endogenization" of com-petition. It concludes with some ideas to avoid that the productive process is oriented to-wards the creation of said Funds and to develop a more efficient and effective economic structure.
