en:
In Marxian economics and preceding theories, the problem of **primitive
accumulation** (also called **previous accumulation** , **original
accumulation** ) of capital concerns the origin of capital, and
therefore of how class distinctions between possessors and
non-possessors came to be.

Adam Smith's account of primitive-original accumulation depicted a
peaceful process, in which some workers laboured more diligently than
others and gradually built up wealth, eventually leaving the less
diligent workers to accept living wages for their labour. Karl Marx
rejected this explanation as "childishness," instead stating that, in
the words of David Harvey, primitive accumulation "entailed taking land,
say, enclosing it, and expelling a resident population to create a
landless proletariat, and then releasing the land into the privatised
mainstream of capital accumulation". This would be accomplished through
violence, war, enslavement, and colonialism.
