This article intends to hold a discussion on the mode of exploitation of human labor by capital as a source former of individual and, with it, social character. Based on Marxist economic and philosophical thought, which initiates the criticism of capitalist mode of production principally grounded in human affairs, will be shown a quick overview of the evolution of production models from the Industrial Revolution to the modern model of flexible accumulation, stressing in this analysis considerations about the relationship of humans with the work that permeates both the sociological and psychological analysis. Starting from the idea built by Marx about the centrality of labor to human , present in his theory of historical materialism, the author reports on his works the consequences of that the alienation of labor, at mode of their time, generate the formation of individual and on the perception of the world around them. Based on this idea, we intend to demonstrate in this article the continuing role of the alienation of labor to the constitution of the human being in the twentieth century, especially in regard to the considerations of the new values and behaviors adopted in modernity.
