O impacto da aplicação da teoria marxista do trabalho produtivo no cálculo das contas nacionais brasileiras

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the behavior of Brazilian national accounts calculated by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics - IBGE when they are applied to them the concepts of Marxist theory of productive work. To this end, it was necessary, in the first time, to investigate the premises which involve the theory of Marx on productive work, and then specify them and evaluates which determinants characteristics of this type of work. The second step was to verify what activities members of the System of National Accounts - SNA using productive work, and the share of the productive work on each of these activities. Identified six activities which employ unproductive work: financial institutions, services of households, rent of buildings, public administration, unpaid services and trade. Still, were identified parcels of unproductive work inserted into other activities of the National Accounts System. The next step was recalculate the values of production, intermediate consumption, add value, remuneration and the number of employees involved only in productive activities, not despise the limitations imposed by the data available. The result indicates an underestimation of the productive sectors of the Brazilian GDP calculated by IBGE, because share of the value produced by them appear in national accounts as value produced by unproductive sectors
