In the Latin American debate, the interconnection between sociology of law and political economy has found a unique path in the reflections of José Eduardo Faria. Stimulated by the diagnosis of the insufficiency of traditional legal knowledge in the face of growing social complexity, these reflections have built a theoretical framework for the transformations of normative structures, legal rationality and judicial functions in economic eras or cycles. In this article, we intend to explore the potential of this research program for understanding the different historical stages of capitalist socio-legal reproduction. Would it be possible to move forward in terms of a marxian critique of political economy? Using the example of financial capitalism, we will emphasize the violence of legal expropriation. In doing so, we will try to make the negative of law a subject for sociological investigation.
