Abstract This article deals with the relationship between the agrarian question and capitalist development, based on a critical analysis of the place given in European Marxism at the beginning of the twentieth century to wage labour within the framework of this problema and on an international comparison of contemporary forms of asalarization of labour (absolute and relative) in the agricultural sectors of the Argentinean Humid Pampas and the Midwest of the United States. Our hypothesis is that, although the productive predominance of wage labor contributes to characterizing an agrarian social structure as capitalist, reducing to that variable the analyses expresses a theoretically limited and restricted approach to the circumstances of the transitions to capitalism in Europe more than one hundred years ago. At present, the same phenomenon can occur equally in different types of capitalism, and, therefore, give rise to different types of «agrarian questions» in different latitudes, not necessarily assimilable to the linear schemes of those first elaborations of the problem.

Keywords : agrarian question; capitalism; hired labor; Argentina; United States.
