Abstract

Este artículo intenta sentar las bases para una comprensión de los precios radicalmente diferente a como los entiende el pensamiento económico tradicional. Tras revisar algunos aspectos relevantes de la crítica a la teoría del dinero como mercancía, se muestra que el pensamiento tradicional es incapaz de captar las propiedades irreductibles de los precios y la complejidad de los procesos que determinan las magnitudes monetarias. La crítica del pensamiento tradicional desemboca en un llamado a olvidar el concepto de valor y, en su lugar, elaborar estrategias para entender el funcionamiento de los precios. Siguiendo el trabajo de los economistas Jonathan Nitzan y Shimshon Bichler (2002, 2008), se propone que los cambios en la capacidad de control de los grupos sociales resultan en (y se expresan como) cambios en los niveles relativos de precios. Este desplazamiento permite construir una ontología del orden capitalista que no está fundada en las nociones de equivalencia y valor, sino en las diferencias de poder. Y hace posible reconocer al plano monetario como un fenómeno complejo e irreductible.
