De què tracta
El segon volum del Capital: no la producció sinó la circulació —com el capital passa de diner a mercaderia i a diner altre cop, quant triga a fer-ho, i com el conjunt de l'economia es pot reproduir any rere any.
Context i història
Marx no el va publicar. Engels el va compondre a partir dels manuscrits i el va treure el 1885, dos anys després de la mort de Marx. És el menys llegit dels tres volums i alhora el més tècnic; els esquemes de reproducció del final són el terreny on Rosa Luxemburg i els seus contradictors van discutir després si l'acumulació capitalista es pot sostenir sola.

We have seen on previous occasions that capitalist production, once it is established, does not only reproduce in its further development this separation, but extends its scope more and more, until it becomes the prevailing social condition. However, there is still another side to this question. In order that capital may be able to arise and take control of production, a definite stage in the development of commerce must precede. This includes the circulation of commodities, and therefore also the production of commodities; for no articles can enter circulation in the form of commodities, unless they are manufactured for sale, and intended for commerce. But the production of commodities does not become the normal mode of production, until it finds as its basis the capitalist system of production. The Russian landowners, who are compelled to carry on The Circulation of Money-Capital. 41 agriculture by the help of wage-laborers instead of serfs, since the so-called emancipation of the serfs, complain about two things. They wail in the first place about the lack of money-capital. They say, for instance, that large sums must be paid to wage-laborers, before the crops can be sold, and there is a dearth of ready cash. Capital in the form of money must always be available for the payment of wages, before production on a capitalist scale can be carried on. But the landowners may take hope. In due time the industrial capitalist will have at his disposal, not alone his own money, but also that of others. The second complaint is more characteristic. It is to the effect that even if money is available, there are not enough laborers at hand at any time. The reason is that the Russian farm laborer, owing to the communal property in land, has not been fully separated from his means of production, and hence is not yet a "free wage-worker" in the full capitalist meaning of the word.…
