Abstract

The aim was to analyse how the relations between commodities, within the society where the capitalist mode of production prevails, manifest the social wealth and constitute themselves as parameters for the determination of value. In this sense, taking as reference the four forms of value presented by Karl Marx in Capital (elementary or accidental form of value; total or expanded form of value; the general form of value; and the money form), was examined the transition from the relative quality of value to its position of economic sovereignty. It was also intended to distinguish historical and logical peculiarities from this dynamic, as well to indicate impacts that metamorphose labour, and to raise its abstract quality to social validity.
