this article focuses on social policies, from a Marxist analysis about the monetary capital and on its ́ dynamics, which involves the whole society in times of financial capitalism. We discuss how the development process of monetary capital affects social policies in a contemporary basis, imposing them a new financial logic by rearranging the pattern of social protection in the Brazilian society. We understand that it undermines the constitutional victories presented in the Constitution of 1988 regarding the defense of its ́ fundamental principles, as well as the implementation of the policies pursued. Finally, we analyze the way this form of capital expands its ́ dynamics towards the poor people by the programs of income transference and how it promotes the monetary influence over the social policies.
