ABSTRACT This paper presents a counterpoint against one of the central arguments of the post-modern wave, according to which, given the expansion of the production of intangible goods (such as digital audio-visual contents, eBooks, and software), the law of value revealed by Karl Marx has lost its explanatory character. In this direction, this paper aims to analyze how Marx incorporated in his theoretical framework the socioeconomic dynamics of immaterial production. The main references for the analysis were the three books that compose Marx’s most important work, Capital - A Critique of Political Economy and the manuscripts Theories of Surplus Value – Volume I and Chapter Six (unpublished) of Capital.
Keywords: Immaterial Production; Immaterial Labour; Law of Value; Marxism; Karl Marx.
