Summary: The specific objective of this dissertation is to comprenhend how the financial sphere is related to the global cycle of capitalistic reproduction. We depart from the fact that in recent decades, specially from the 1980s, the capital recovery takes part of the lost profitable share of the previous decade. Nevertheless, this recovery in profitability occurs on strong differentiated characteristics of accumulation that marked the growth of the period better known as the 30 golden years of capitalism (specially from the perspective of the ruling classes in core countries). In this sense, our assumption is that, since the the turn managed by the structural crisis of the 1970s decade, the financial sphere gained autonomy in relation to the global cycle of the capitalistic reproduction. And, due to this autonomy, the financial sphere shifts in condition of the dominance in relation to the global cycle. Thus, what are the main features of this new moment? What causes that have driven a rapid growth of the financial sphere? If we live in a stage of capitalism with strong financial influence the term financialization, in what consists? And above all, what is its relationship to the global capital cycle? Was there any contribution to the development of capitalist accumulation or may it be considered as refractory to the development and/or expansion of capitalism? These are the issues that will be worked on throughout the dissertation.
