Abstract

We place exploitation at the center of our analysis because we believe that the increase in surplus value has been the peculiar characteristic, the 'secret' of the years of restoration. We will try to show how the new working class emerging from three decades of restoration is more numerous, despite rumors concerning the alleged 'end of the working class' , is more 'global', with a greater relative weight of the newly industrialized countries, and characterized by levels of productivity that was not matched by an equivalent upward trend of wages: this means more exploitation, more surplus value as a global mass, and as a rate.
