12. The term "primitive accumulation" (or "original accumulation"), was originally used by the classical economists in reference to the process by which, in the mists of time, capital had been originally accumulated by an owning class distinct from laborers (Adam Smith’s "accumulation of stock"); it was assumed to have been the result of success in the marketplace. Marx used the term ironically, standing it on its head. The term, succinctly, referred to "an accumulation not the result of the capitalist mode of production, but its starting point."
