Abstract

This essay aims to understand the meaning of technological progress within the social relations of capitalist production with a focus on the meanings of accumulation for the working class. For this, Marx's theoretical development of the general law of capitalist accumulation is analyzed. It is understood that the social productivity of labor under the capitalist mode of production does not incorporate technical progress with the aim of expanding the well-being of workers, but subordinates it to the spiral of capital accumulation and, consequently, expands the immanent contradictions of capital.
