Abstract

This article aims to identify the theoretical-critical construction that the Mexican author Jorge Veraza develops for the concept of “Marxism”, based on his publications in which he reflects on the work of Karl Marx. By reviewing his reading of Marx, it is ratified that its construction and Marxist conceptual significance focuses on the criticism of the current capitalist political-economic system. The contribution of this text also consists in the analysis the work of the Mexican author, based on a concept that serves as a critique of capitalism from the academic context of Mexico in the last three decades, considering the negative impact on the Marxist tradition developed after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the dissolution of the USSR in 1991.
