Abstract
In earlier chapters we noted the role that accumulations of mercantile capital played in the genealogy of the capitalist mode of production, and that the dominance of this form of capital in the period of the dissolution of the feudal mode and the transition to dominance by the capitalist mode had specific economic effects on non-capital modes.1 We also indicated that these effects continue to be reproduced even when merchants’ capital is no longer dominant, when penetration occurs under other forms, as the circulation of mercantile capital is increasingly subjected to the requirements of capitalist production.2
