Sumario:This article contributes to academic debates on the nature of informal wholesale markets in Argentina, with an emphasis on the case of La Salada market. Here the production chain is examined in order to illustrate how their internal functioning responds to the rationale of extraction of absolute surplus value by the owners of the means of production. Although these large markets generated by socially and economically marginalised people might inspire affection, we should not expect to see in these the seed of new social relations of production, and that if it were, these would be more egalitarian relations. Finally the interest of the largest clothing companies in legalising working conditions in the market and in the garment sweatshops supplying it is mentioned. Their goal is to grant legal status to those practices as exceptions, in order to extend them to the whole sector and even to other economic sectors.
