AZAMAR-ALONSO, Aleida. Corporativist extractivism in Mexico: mining in Guanajuato. Economía y Sociedad [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.55, pp.72-91.  Epub July 01, 2019. ISSN 2215-3403.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15359/eys.24-55.5.

In this paper, a study of metallic mining is conducted in Mexico, in the state of Guanajuato, where market conditions have created a scenario of monopolization by only two Canadian companies. This behavior responds to the economic transition of capitalism to its higher phase, in which the means of production and political power are concentrated in a minimum number of actors. The analysis was carried out through the productive mining diagnosis of the State; likewise, Marxist theoretical elements that help determine the process of corporativism and extractivist monopolization are valued.

Keywords : mining; extractivism; monopoly.
