Financialization, understood as a ramification of the capitalist accumulation process, has reconfigured the global economy, conditioning the performance of economic agents and manifesting itself in the very dimension of financial wealth, playing a prominent role in imposing the behavior of individuals and firms, determining the pattern of household consumption and the allocation of resources among parts of society through income distribution channels. From this perspective, this article aims to contribute to theoretical discussions on the expansionist theme of financialization and its ramifications in the behavior of productive units, firms, as well as the deleterious effects of this process in the labor sphere. We will discuss the role of productive units and their growth trajectory, as well as the role of Transnational Corporations immersed in the expansion scenario of capitalism worldwide.

Since the beginning of the social organization of work, the minimum wage has played an important role in the lives of workers, seeking to ensure that they receive a decent remuneration for their labor. In Brazil, this value is annually readjusted and, in 2007, it was proposed that this readjustment should be based on a mathematical formula composed of the Gross Domestic Product and the inflation index measured by the National Consumer Price Index, obtaining thus real gains above the general increase in prices. This study aims to understand the behavior of the minimum wage after implementing this rule, comparing its evolution to the different levels of inflation measured in Brazil and evaluating its efficiency according to the new variables added to its readjustment. Through this study, it was observed that the minimum wage presented real gains when applying the Gross Domestic Product as a variable of increase to inflation, however it was also observed that after economic crises where the variation of the Gross Domestic Product was negative, there was no significant increase above the inflation in the minimum wage gains for workers.
