Abstract: The main focus of this thesis has been to develop a modified Marxian model to explain and evaluate the Puerto Rican problem. That model, unlike others, focuses upon ideology and the contradictions in practice as critical for understanding the Puerto Rican problem. A capitalist business economy, like the United States, necessitates a system of buffer labor market relations in order to smooth its functioning.;How this is accomplished is shown by dividing the economy into three spheres: production, labor market and consumption. To the interplay of these spheres must be added the ideology of liberal democracy employed to legitimize the relations between the United States and mainland Puerto Ricans. The contradiction that explains the position of Puerto Ricans in the United States stems from the incongruities between democratic hierarchical liberal ideology.
