Resumen
BARKIN, David y SANTARCANGELO, Juan. The IMF as a key instrument in the class struggle: Reflections from Latin America. El trimestre econ [online]. 2024, vol.91, n.362, pp.239-263. Epub 21-Jun-2024. ISSN 2448-718X. https://doi.org/10.20430/ete.v91i362.2090.
The aim of this paper is: first, to show that the relationship between Latin America and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is a faithful reflection of a class struggle on a world scale, where the correlation of internal and external forces has been articulated over the years in favor of capital; second, to analyze the concrete possibilities that the region will face in the future if it intends to reverse this unfavorable history. The paper argues that the IMF has played a key role in the reconfiguration and extension of the dominance of international finance capital over the productive resources of Latin America by favoring the consolidation of a local capitalist class subordinated to the designs and power of transnational capital.
