• Abstract:

  Through theoretical research, this article presents some analyses of the flexibilization and fragmentation of production and its links to the accumulation of capital, in order to understand that current relations of production use cooperatives and other forms of work to organize, under the command of capital, a renewed form of labor cooperation. These cooperative processes, rather than breaking with the process of valorization, operate a continuity, insofar as they place the production carried out by these various forms of work under capitalist domination. Worker cooperatives are thus linked to the process of value production and revive combined labor and labor cooperation.
