About Capitalism

"Capital refers to the materials that are necessary for production, trade and commerce. It consists of all tools, equipment, factories, raw materials and goods in process, means of transporting goods, and money. The essence of the capitalist system is the existence of a class of capitalists who own the capital stock. It is by virtue of their ownership of this capital that they derive their profits. These profits are then plowed back, or used to augment the capital stock. The further accumulation of capital leads to more profits, which leads to more accumulation, and the system continues in an upward spiral. The term capitalism describes this system of profit-seeking and accumulation very well." --E.K. Hunt, 1975, Property and Prophets, 2nd ed.
