Summary: Starting on the controversy over be - or not to be - the super-exploitation a specific category of dependent countries, or general for the central economies in face of the intensification of the precariousness of labor conditions, a condition that capital currently imposes on the worker as a way to recover the profit in the moment of crisis, the present study shows that the super-exploitation of the labor is connected with the transfer of more value as a form of compensation,
and that the trend movement between these dialectical units, demonstrates the form of accumulation that happens in countries. In this way, the generalization of super-exploitation and its extension to the central countries only occurs as mechanisms of remuneration below the value necessary for the reproduction of the labor force, not representing the total reproduction of the relations that make the dialectic of dependence. The elements of the Brazilian economy, analyzed in the present study, indicate that the country intensified the transfer of more value abroad after the 1990’s commercial and financial opening and, in this same period, the conditions of use of the labor force became more precarious, increasing the wear of the workforce and intensifying super-exploitation. Among the elements that emerge from the Brazilian economy who demonstrate an increase in the transfer of more value, the study showed that the growth of foreign investments in the country had accentuated the sending of profits, dividends and interest. Consequently, there is an expressive part of the wealth
produced in the Brazilian economy and sent abroad in the form of profits,
interest and dividends. Therefore, the transfer of more value produced in
Brazil is appropriate externally, which intensifies the relations of
dependence of the country's economy. The conditions for the use of the labor force in the Brazilian labor market worsened after the commercial and financial opening, when the problem of dependence determined by the transfer of more value was sharpened. This relationship occurs because, in the process of de-accumulation of the Brazilian economy and vulnerabilities resulting from economic crises, capital recovers the loss of more value through the super-exploitation of the labor force. Concluding, by this Brazilian economy element can be concluded that, there is a relation between the dialectical units, transfer of value and super-exploitation of the labor force. This relationship, however, occurs in a trend movement, which indicates the specificity of the function of super-exploitation in dependent economies.
