This work focuses on the conception of work from the Critical Social Theory by Jürgen Habermas, highlighting its importance in the process of self-constitution of the human societies. In the general level of analysis, this study observes the effects of the modern State, emphasizing the configuration of the Liberal and Interventionist States. Regarding the latter, mainly after the liberalism crisis in the first half of the last century, this work seeks to highlight the role of the State intervention in the economic domain, directing the discussion to the ambit of the Brazilian Constitutions, particularly the 1988 Constitution, Art. 170, in the light of the valorization of the human work.
