Abstract

Marx studied the reproduction of the commons which he defined as social reproduction, to the extent that this takes place in the capitalist form. The cycles of neoliberalism and production of commons are interdependent and the social forces which speak for capital are well aware of that. In Marxian analysis of capital there is the presence of capita?'s "other"; thtat which is "the oustside", exactly there in the forge of capitalist production. This is the dialectic of capital which aims to recover class struggle, "the outside", as a function of its own "development". What does this disquisition on the role of reproduction ande "the outside" of capital have to do with the sub-primes crisis? As usuall the crises of capital illuminatew the contradictions of the specific historical forms of capitalist development, that is to say, the recovery of that which is outside of capital. Thus, recurring crises are moments of a mechanism for the enclosure and disciplning of social work which is continuous, exactly because the conflict between opposing value forms and practices are continuous.
