    ¿Por qué creció la desigualdad en España durante la Gran Recesión?: una interpretación desde el marxismo
    (O Social em Questão, 2021) Murillo Arroyo, Francisco Javier
    Desde el estallido de la crisis los niveles de desigualdad en España se han intensificado a un ritmo superior al de otras economías. El método marxista permite comprender las causas que explican la desigualdad creciente: considerando que el origen de la crisis se fundamenta en el deterioro de las condiciones de rentabilidad se puede entender que la reacción adoptada para superarla haya pretendido aliviar la creciente presión sobre la ganancia. Para ello, se ha desplegado un ajuste salarial sustentado en el deterioro de las condiciones laborales y en la contención de las rentas salariales, que ha disparado la desigualdad.

    The distributive pattern of the spanish economy: the impact of adjustment on inequalities
    (The political economy of contemporary Spain: from miracle to mirage, 2018) Murillo Arroyo, Francisco Javier; Molero Simarro, Ricardo; Buendia García, Luís
    The so-called ‘Spanish miracle’, beginning in the mid-1990s, eventually became a nightmare for the majority of the population, culminating in the present-day economic and political crisis. This book explores the main features of the Spanish political-economic model during both the growth and crisis periods. Analyzing the causes and consequences of the continuing economic crisis in Spain, this book delves into five analytical axes: the evolution of the growth model; the role of Spain in the international division of labor; the financial sector and its influence on the rest of the economy; changes in the labor market; and the distributional consequences of both the expansive phase and the later crisis. Furthermore, contributors examine the formation of a triangle of actors (the government sector, building sector, and financial capital) that shaped the Spanish growth model, together with the effects of Spain’s membership in the Economic and Monetary Union. Also considering ecological problems, gender issues, and the immigration question, this book challenges the alleged recovery of living conditions during recent years, as well as the explanation of the crisis as the result of irrational behaviors or the greedy nature of certain actors. The Political Economy of Contemporary Spain provides a coherent explanation of the Spanish economic crisis based on a pluralistic approach, while proposing several measures that could contribute to a transformation of Spain’s economic and social models.

    False self-employment and bogus internships in Spain
    (The Economic and Labour Relations Review, 2023) Arrizabalo Montoro, Xabier; Del Rosal Crespo, Mario; Murillo Arroyo, Francisco Javier; Cambridge University Press
    This paper focuses on the state of precarious work in Spain: Are all those who work as self-employed persons and interns truly operating under those descriptions, or are many of them employees so precariously engaged that they have no labour contracts? If so, how has this come to pass? Why is it increasingly happening? This paper raises some answers based on the Marxist approach. We link employment instability to increased exploitation of the Spanish labour force. This trend is a reaction by capital to low rates of profit and the implementation of particular governmental economic policies implemented to meet the demands of the European Union. Due to the precariousness of work, prospects for achieving a stable and autonomous life for a large cohort of Spain’s working youth are seriously threatened.
