DIAZ SILVA, José Carlos. Absolute and relative surplus value in Mexico (1993-2020). Prob. Des [online]. 2025, vol.56, n.220, pp.67-94.  Epub 07-Jun-2025. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2025.220.70216.

This study examines the methods of extracting surplus value in Mexico. Marxist theory identifies two: absolute and relative, assuming that the latter is capitalist. In the case of Mexico, however, it is concluded that the relative mechanism dominates during periods of higher accumulation and the absolute mechanism dominates during periods of lower growth. In order to confirm this, a method has been proposed to decompose the exploitation rate and measure each method’s impact. Since the 2008 crisis, the absolute method has become the basic method of extracting surplus value, and therefore, the procedures adopted are described in detail.

Palabras llave : theory of value; exploitation; absolute surplus value; surplus value; P16; B41; J01; J31.
