Nota sobre a dialética da forma-mercadoria no capitalismo

In the foregoing we have encountered successively the limits to the market regulation in the production of urban space, the limits to both the rent form and the price form of the payment for location and finally, the limits to complete control over even the direct means of production in commodity production itself. These limits all point towards the way in which capitalist relations of production assert themselves, giving cohesion to capitalism as a mode of production, and that may be summarized in the dialectic of the commodity form in capitalism.

There are inherent limits to the generalization of commodity production, which however must remain predominant. "(But) real economic life capable of being completely engulfed and governed by the reifying force of a commodity-economy is a theoretical abstraction which can be only approximated by reality."(22)
.Indeed, as competition creates monopoly, so monopoly re-creates competition at a higher level,(23) and by the same token, as commodity production engenders techniques that negate commodity production at one stage, so does further evolution of technique restore the conditions of commodity production in the next stage (as in the exanple of computers above).
(22) Sekine (1977):151
(23) Wheelock (1983):35ss.

No final,
What remains is that commodity production gives rise to tendencies that negate it and that in turn give rise to counter-tendencies that negate the negation. The simultaneity of tendencies and countertendencies
in social development is both abstract, being a dialectical and concrete, coming into historical existence. It also imposes that the only possible object of study in social science is the transformation set in motion by counteracting forces which have
no independent existence by themselves.(24)

(24)  Specifically this excludes, at one extreme, the Uno-type 'hyper-abstraction' as mentioned above, and at the opposite extreme, the marginalist reduction of social processes to equilibria. The study of equilibria is properly restricted to the study of structures, like components of the urban structure or of fixed capital, in vhich we are interested -- even though they change as well -- insofar as they remain, as use values, unaltered for some time.
