Teixeira, Ghabriel de Oliveira
Esta dissertaÃ§Ã£o investiga o papel do Federal Reserve (Fed) como instrumento de sustentaÃ§Ã£o da hegemonia americana e do capital-imperialismo no regime de acumulaÃ§Ã£o financeirizado. A pesquisa parte da seguinte questÃ£o: de que modo o Fed, por meio do manejo da polÃ­tica monetÃ¡ria e do dÃ³lar, opera como dispositivo de extraÃ§Ã£o e organizaÃ§Ã£o do fluxo global de valor? Adota-se como metodologia o materialismo histÃ³rico e dialÃ©tico, que permite percorrer o caminho da abstraÃ§Ã£o Ã  concretude: partindo das categorias fundamentais da crÃ­tica da economia polÃ­tica (dinheiro, crÃ©dito, capital fictÃ­cio), e avanÃ§ando para a anÃ¡lise da atuaÃ§Ã£o institucional do Fed e para a reconstituiÃ§Ã£o histÃ³rica da financeirizaÃ§Ã£o pÃ³s-1971, culminando na identificaÃ§Ã£o dos mecanismos concretos de poder monetÃ¡rio. Os principais resultados demonstram que o Fed nÃ£o Ã© uma instituiÃ§Ã£o tÃ©cnica neutra, mas o locus operativo do capital-imperialismo. Ao controlar o dÃ³lar (dinheiro mundial), manejar a taxa de juros e regular o sistema financeiro, o Fed opera uma â  bomba-valorâ   que: organiza os fluxos internacionais de capitais; regula a competiÃ§Ã£o capitalista; impÃµe custos de ajuste assimÃ©tricos; e organizando a extraÃ§Ã£o de valor do trabalho social global, notadamente pela drenagem de recursos pÃºblicos destinados ao pagamento de juros da dÃ­vida sob regimes de austeridade. Conclui-se que a hegemonia dos Estados Unidos e a dominÃ¢ncia do dÃ³lar sÃ£o expressÃµes da hegemonia do capital-imperialismo, e a ordem global liderada pelos americanos Ã© a manifestaÃ§Ã£o de um modelo de acumulaÃ§Ã£o financeirizado. Portanto, a posiÃ§Ã£o hegemÃ´nica dos EUA Ã© dependente da sua capacidade em garantir, organizar e coordenar o capitalismo financeirizado. A pesquisa aponta, contudo, a necessidade de verificaÃ§Ã£o empÃ­rica e estudos de casos sistemÃ¡ticos para aprofundar a formulaÃ§Ã£o teÃ³rica apresentada nesta dissertaÃ§Ã£o, e sugere anÃ¡lises futuras sobre crises financeiras perifÃ©ricas e iniciativas de desdolarizaÃ§Ã£o. A compreensÃ£o desses mecanismos Ã© condiÃ§Ã£o para qualquer projeto de transformaÃ§Ã£o social que pretenda enfrentar a dominaÃ§Ã£o financeira em suas raÃ­zes.; Abstract: This thesis investigates the role of the Federal Reserve (Fed) as an instrument for sustaining American hegemony and capital-imperialism in the financialized accumulation regime. The research starts from the following question: how does the Fed, through the management of monetary policy and the dollar, operate as a device for extracting and organizing the global flow of value? The methodology adopted is historical and dialectical materialism, which allows for a journey from abstraction to concreteness: starting from the fundamental categories of the critique of political economy (money, credit, fictitious capital), and advancing to the analysis of the Fed's institutional actions and the historical reconstruction of post-1971 financialization, culminating in the identification of the concrete mechanisms of monetary power. The main results demonstrate that the Fed is not a neutral technical institution, but the operational locus of capital-imperialism. By controlling the dollar (world money), managing interest rates, and regulating the financial system, the Fed operates a \"value pump\" that: organizes international capital flows; regulates capitalist competition; imposes asymmetrical adjustment costs and organizes the extraction of value from global social labor, notably through the draining of public resources destined for debt interest payments under austerity regimes. It concludes that the hegemony of the United States and the dominance of the dollar are expressions of the hegemony of capital-imperialism, and the American-led global order is a manifestation of a financialized accumulation model. Therefore, the hegemonic position of the US depends on its capacity to guarantee, organize, and coordinate financialized capitalism. The research points, however, to the need for empirical verification and systematic case studies to deepen the theoretical formulation presented in this thesis, and suggests future analyses of peripheral financial crises and de-dollarization initiatives. Understanding these mechanisms is a condition for any social transformation project that intends to confront financial domination at its roots.
