# Capital Accumulation
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The process by which savings from revenue are added to capital stock, enabling
|
||||
the employment of additional productive labour. Capital grows through
|
||||
parsimony when individuals save part of their revenue and either employ it
|
||||
themselves in maintaining productive hands or lend it to others, creating a
|
||||
perpetual fund for maintaining productive labour across time.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book II, Chapter 3
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
The chapter's primary focus, explaining how individual saving behavior
|
||||
accumulates into national capital growth. Smith argues that parsimony, not
|
||||
industry, is the immediate cause of capital increase, and that this process
|
||||
determines whether a nation tends toward industry or idleness.
