This book explores the renewal of forms of capital accumulation and
the institutions that shape it. It focuses on three main sources of
accumulation: the extraction of profit through labor and the
commodification of nature, financial speculation and the ways in
which profit is converted into wealth. It thus offers a new
understanding of the economic and political logics of capital
accumulation within capitalism in the 21st century. It shows the
recomposition of the sources of profit, from the traditional
mechanisms of labor exploitation to the contemporary logics of
speculation and dispossession. Bringing together the work of
scholars who study the social fabric of capitalist accumulation,
Accumulating Capital Today goes beyond disciplinary frontiers to
describe how capital is accumulating in a world threatened by
social and environmental collapse. This book heralds the emergence
of "accumulation studies" and will be of interest to researchers in
sociology, anthropology, politics, political economy, geography and
economics.
