The accumulation of capital by Rosa luxemburg
No Reviews
Book Overview
In The Accumulation of Capital, Luxemburg extends and critiques classical Marxist economic theory, especially the ideas of Karl Marx. She questions how capitalism can sustain itself when workers’ wages alone cannot absorb all the goods produced.
Her central argument is that capitalism requires external markets—societies and regions outside the capitalist system—to absorb surplus production and allow continued accumulation of profit. This leads to the expansion of capitalism through imperialism, colonization, and global economic integration.
Luxemburg also links economic expansion to political domination, arguing that imperialism is not accidental but structurally necessary for capitalism’s survival.
