Marx’ Notion of “Industrial Reserve Army” and the Role of Contemporary Labour Migration

Sažetak
Industrially developed countries regulate shocks in their own markets by exerting direct influence on the world economy, which is enabled by the concentration of capital. In this connection, the regulation of the labour markets concerned is carried out by setting institutional barriers serving to reduce, enforce or simply prevent – at a given moment – the entries of manpower. The outcome of the closure of the U.S. labour market is an increase in the number of illegal migrants from Mexico. Simultaneously, Mexico finds it impossible to resolve its internal economic problems, which has recently been influenced also by two phenomena in the world market: the internalization of global economic relations and “supply side” economics. The problem which was observed by Marx in the premonopoly period of capitalism, when he was writing about the “industrial reserve army” within the then current tendencies of development in the global market of labour is increasingly radicalized. The phenomenon has actually become mundane, leading to a global division into the labour market and the market of capital.
