capital in general, n.All

Capital in general (n.) cannot ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠exist while the worker himself has exchange value; labour must first face it as pure use value, sold by its own owner.

Capital in general (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠capital at its highest abstraction, facing wage-labour as one whole, so high that crises and the trade cycle cannot appear until many capitals compete.
