SUMMARY:

This document refers to the Thesis Project submitted to the Postgraduate Program in Social Work at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, as a partial requirement for obtaining a PhD in Social Work. Its theme is Entrepreneurship as a tendency for the reproduction of capital, based on the Marxist debate on the contemporary capitalist crisis and the investigation of its historical-ontological bases. Given the conditions of unemployment and unemployment growth, we argue that the expansion of work experiences inspired by the ideology of entrepreneurship and fostered by government programs, enhances the precariousness of work relations and constitutes an anti-crisis trend. Based on this assumption, this work has the general objective of analyzing entrepreneurship as a mechanism for capital reproduction based on the work of individual microentrepreneurs (MEI), verifying its functionality in relation to new production strategies and appropriation of value by capital, based on the context of the 2008 financial crisis in the US and its offensive against work, particularly in Latin American countries. The choice for Paraíba is justified by the fact that it is the region, in terms of the Northeast, in which entrepreneurship gained centrality in government programs. Methodologically, we seek to identify the mediations that make up a phenomenon as a synthesis of multiple determinations, in the light of the historical-dialectical method. We will have as a framework for analysis the period between 2016-2021, in which the expansion of the number of MEI records in the state of Paraíba is verified. Subsequently, we will carry out a qualitative and quantitative research, of an exploratory/explanatory character, involving bibliographic survey, analysis of primary and secondary data, observations in loco and interviews directed to the workers. As for secondary sources, we will use legislation and rules of the Individual Microentrepreneur Program - PMEI (Law 128/2008). As well as surveys and reports carried out by the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service – SEBRAE, the Microempreendedor Portal – in addition to other websites and official documents. We will also use the bibliographic research that recovers Schumpeterian theses, problematizing their contradictions, from the critique of political economy in Marx.
