Abstract

Abstract The context of capitalist restructuring, deindustrialization, reprimarization of the export agenda, and rentism also includes platform economy, uberization, and the growing precarization of the world of work. Maracanaú, in the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza, is not immune to the transformations that have been occurring in the national scenario. This article aims to analyze the dynamics of the lower circuit of urban economy in territories of popular clothing trade in the Municipality of Maracanaú. We conclude that this trade goes beyond the metropolitan territory and reinvents itself amid the clash with the government and with private interests. However, the right to work in the context of urban reform is a challenge in view of the army of excluded workers, and the right to the city that has become a commodity – the business city – has been denied.
