At the beginning of the 1970s, the Fordist production system entered into a crisis, accentuated by the first oil "shock" in 1973. Since then, capitalism has been heading for new accumulation fronts. This fact is explained by David Harvey (1989), when referring to the space-time transfer of capital as a way of absorbing the movement of super-accumulation. This phenomenon, associated with the growth, in the central countries, of the part of income destined for wages, pushed capitalist production out of its previous domains. Alternatively, these countries made use of the introduction of new production technologies in order to reverse this process.
