Abstract

Accumulation is one side of the golden coin of capitalism; the creation of the proletariat is the other. Historically, accumulation has meant the simultaneous dispossession of people and concentration of property, so that the dispossessed face the propertied in the free labor market (see Marx (1967), I, pp. 614, 620, 624).
