- Title
Quelle théorie critique de structures sociales du capitalisme avancé?
- Authors
Pineault, Éric
- Abstract
This article proposes an ideal type of the social structure of advanced capitalism. We begin with a critique that highlights the limits of certain Marxist and neomarxist approaches to contemporary capitalism, in particular regulationist and expressionist variants. The purpose of this first section is to identify the essential Marxian categories necessary to the theory of capitalism's elementary or cellular social relations. From there we move to the ideal-typical analysis of advanced capitalism through the study of three institutional structures that define this social form and differentiate it from its modern bourgeois past. These institutions are the corporation, finance capital and the salaried/middle class. The analysis of each form draws on recent institutionalist research. The argument ends with a study of the dynamics of this social structure as a historical whole that one can characterise as led by a process of massification.
