To constitute the support physical that allows the exchange of goods and services, they have become nodes of large networks of flows and in gigantic and sophisticated merchandise. Goods that, in the words of David Harvey (2014: 24), "... play a specific active role in the absorption of surplus product than the capitalists continuously produced in its search for surplus value ”. Analyze the anatomy of these authentic “machines growth ”is the purpose that animates this dossier.
