According to Karl Marx, under the capitalist mode of production, the accumulation of capital leads to:
1
A permanent increase in wealth for both the proletariat and bourgeoisie, as market mechanisms ensure fair distribution.
2
The exploitation of labor, where the surplus value created by workers is appropriated by capitalists, leading to a widening class divide and eventual systemic collapse.
3
A gradual transition towards equitable wealth distribution as competition between capitalists increases innovation and reduces inequality.
4
A focus on the rationalization of labor and the fair distribution of wealth, allowing for class harmony in the capitalist system.
