| description | This article deals with the relationship between the agrarian question and capitalist development, based on a critical analysis of the place given in European Marxism at the beginning of the twentieth century to wage labour within the framework of this problem and on an international comparison of contemporary forms of asalarization of labour (absolute and relative) in the agricultural sectors of the Argentinean Humid Pampas and the Midwest of the United States. Our hypothesis is that, although the productive predominance of wage labor contributes to characterizing an agrarian social structure as capitalist, reducing to that variable the analyses expresses a theoretically limited and restricted approach to the circumstances of the transitions to capitalism in Europe more than one hundred years ago. At present, the same phenomenon can occur equally in different types of capitalism, and, therefore, give rise to different types of "agrarian questions" in different latitudes, not necessarily assimilable to the linear schemes of those first elaborations of the problem. |

Este artículo aborda la relación entre la cuestión agraria y el desarrollo capitalista, a partir de un análisis crítico del lugar que se la ha dado en el marxismo europeo de principios del siglo XX al trabajo asalariado en el marco de esta problemática y de una comparación internacional de las formas contemporáneas de asalarización del trabajo (absoluta y relativa) en los sectores agropecuarios de la Pampa Húmeda argentina y el medio oeste de los Estados Unidos. Nuestra hipótesis es que, si bien el predominio productivo del trabajo asalariado contribuye a caracterizar una estructura social agraria como capitalista, reducir a esa variable los análisis expresa un enfoque limitado teóricamente y restricto a las circunstancias de las transiciones al capitalismo en Europa hace más de cien años. En la actualidad, el mismo fenómeno puede darse por igual en distintos tipos de capitalismo, y, por lo tanto, dar lugar a distintos tipos de “cuestiones agrarias” en diversas latitudes, no necesariamente asimilables a los esquemas lineales de aquellas primeras elaboraciones del problema.
