On the Accumulation of Capital

"On the Accumulation of Capital" by Rosa Luxemburg explores how economic growth depends on the continuous investment of capital—money or resources used to produce goods and services. Luxemburg argues that the expansion of capital leads to increased production, but this growth can create economic imbalances and class tensions. She emphasizes that capital accumulation is driven by profit motives but also discusses how this process impacts labor and inequality. Overall, she presents a critical view of unchecked capitalist expansion, highlighting its potential for both progress and instability.
