Capital de comércio de vendas
O trabalho de transporte de produtos e passageiros sob o jugo das plataformas digitais
Abstract
Abstract
The rapid growth of employment in food delivery and cab drivers has spurred the production of a large number of descriptive articles dealing mostly with the deterioration of job quality. Little has been done in order to understand this new type of capital from a theoretical point of view. This article proposes to fill that gap by proposing that plataform capitals dealing with food delivery and passenger transportation should be defined as “sales dealing capital”. Side by side with this type of capital there is a great number of people not regularly employed, whose revenue are derived from a large array “selling in order to buy” activities, that is, simple commodity circulation. Simple commodity circulation is thus captured by the circuit of valorization of sales dealing capital. The subsumption of simple commodity production/circulation to the circuit of sales dealing capital allows for an alternative take on the features displayed by these new forms of employment.
