Why does this article present this marxists nonsense as if it was an accurate description of the reality?

High-quality, comprehensive article.

Can someone make "accumulation of capital" link to this?

Thanks, but I think now that the article needs to be re-edited again to improve it, and make it better referenced. It doesn't really conform yet to wikipedia requirements for a good article. I think I worked on the main chunk of this article in 2005 or 2006 or thereabouts, but the whole thing should be reviewed and revised systematically. In particular, I think some of the statements introduced over the years into the article by various editors hardly meet the wiki requirement of "neutrality". Both the positive (sympathetic) and negative (hostile) interpretations of capital accumulation should be clearly stated and distinguished, for the sake of a balanced approach to this topic. So I think at least some of the wording and formulations could do with a good spruce-up. Also, more recent data is available now. I'll have a go at it when I find some time, but I hope that impartial economists or economic historians taking an objective, level-headed approach can also contribute to improving the article.

Redirect to Capitalism section?

Should this page redirect to Capitalism#Capital accumulation? Jonpatterns (talk) 09:58, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes. This article is nothing more than an essay on Das Kapital. It does not meet NPOV criteria, but the content does help make the capitalism article more NPOV.

• No This article was written some time ago, so it's short on citations. But it's well written, and the topic is important to economics. Harrod-Domar model is a standard economics model, and has nothing to do with Das Kapital. Darx9url (talk) 01:13, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
• Keep: Notable topic (meets WP:GNG). There are no major problems with the article, and the article is not just an essay about Das Kapital. Esquivalience ^t 02:54, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

• Keep - inclined that way as this article seems better than that omnibus, though best reason I can offer is that accumulation is a concept that's severable fro capitalism -- many in capitalism do not accumulate wealth, and many in totalitarian or anarchy do accumulate it so this seems a separate entity.
