THE SETTING UP OF WORK AS A MERCHANDISE: THE SPANISH CASE
Abstract
This article reviews the historical process of the emergence of work as a merchandising element. For this purpose, some devices decreed and implemented in Spain during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are analysed. This is a modest contribution to the long list of authors who have focused their work on the genealogy of the salaried society in Spain. The theories of internationally important references, such as Polanyi, have been followed. They have revealed the power relationships behind the historical evolution
of salaried work and its artificial centrality in the modern western nation-states. Data and ideas for its virtual transformation are given.
