Resumo

Este artigo sugere que a elaboração de Trotsky sobre o desenvolvimento desigual e combinado pode ser uma ferramenta metodológica para compreender o capitalismo contemporâneo. Um diálogo com Kondratiev é um ponto de partida, pois cada nova revolução tecnológica cria um novo nível de desigualdade. As revoluções tecnológicas também transformam os canais por meio dos quais a combinação ocorre. Como tanto a desigualdade quanto a combinação mudam com o tempo, é possível ter uma abordagem dinâmica para o processo de desenvolvimento desigual e combinado. Essa abordagem dinâmica é uma metodologia para investigar como novos amálgamas entre formas modernas e arcaicas moldam variedades de capitalismo na periferia e transformam a dinâmica global do capitalismo.
