-
monied capitalist lend to industrial capitalist
- Take % of profit
- contributes to formation of average profit
-
problems
- creates artificial duality between lenders/borrowers
- does not allow for proper analyses of conflict between lenders and borrowers
- does not account for creation of capital
-
concentrations of idle money are systematically generated in course of reproduction of social capital. Credit system transforms into IBC, redirected to accumulation
-
3 stages
-
credit system mobilizes stagnant money
- idle profits, reserves, depreciation funds
-
transformed into IBC
-
through credit system plain commercial money becomes money capital
- has use value, can initiate or expand cycles – produce average profit
- can be traded as IBC
- IBC is formed as average profit-generating capacity is bought/sold
- money capital remains with owner - IBC is borrowed/lent
- owners compensation is share of average profit – interest
- redirected to accumulation
- outside the process of accumulation
-
interest payments are redistribution of surplus value
- reflect demand/supply IBC in normal course of accumulation
- do not contribute to formation of average profit
-
lender/borrower opposition – quantitative devision of total profit
- could think of industrial capitalist as employees of money capitalist
- still monied v productive
-
problems
- still artificial duality
-
assumes use value able to generate average profits
- then why would the monied not utilize use value, instead of just interest
-
lapavtisas approach- credit system is social mechanism thats forms IBC
-
advantages
- better theoretic background for lending for non-productive purpose
- regardless of where money is put, lender still command payment of interest
-
interest is augmentation of money by lending
- can be extracted from all money revenues, regardless of surplus value
-
value leaks from circuit of capital - social foundation
- circulation hoards - reserves
-
production hoards - depreciation funds
- money hoards from profit
-
turnover hoards
- time
-
transforms into IBC
-
in contrast to commercial/money dealing capital
- which earns % of total surplus value
- remains in sphere of exchange
- participate in formation of average rate of profit
-
IBC formed outside circuit
- accelerates turnover
-
allows for understanding of why P>i
- IBC ultimately reliant on spare funds generated in circuit
- no objective foundation on social reporduction
- pure price without relation to law of value
