Summary: This thesis aims to carry out a critical analysis of the overexploitation of the labor force, fundamental to the Marxist Theory of Dependence. As this analytical category has become increasingly frequent in left wing debates, research, and movement s, considering its potential for the apprehension of Brazilian reality is essential to those who envision revolutionary praxis. By scrutinizing the criticisms of overexploitation and resorting to classic authors of the debate on national formation Caio P rado Jr., Florestan Fernandes and Celso Furtado --, it is clear that there are relevant elements to be considered, especially the fact that the colonial and slave owning past establish, here, particularities with regard to the class regime, the dynamics of the class struggle, the constitution and the value of labor power. Thus, recovering the elements of the past, which are still being reconfigured in contemporary Brazil, at the same time that the perspective of national formation is regated, allows a questi oning of super exploitation category itself, as well as prospecting an analysis that rests on the concrete reality of our history and the class struggle aimed at here.
