Naming and Translations
The concept was initially called in different ways, and the expression of an "accumulation" which is at the origin of capitalism, began to appear with Adam Smith. Smith, in his English language The Wealth of Nations spoke of a previous accumulation; Karl Marx, in the German language Das Kapital, reprised Smith expression correctly translating it with ursprünglich; Marx's translators rendered it back to English as primitive. James Steuart, with his 1767 work, is considered by some scholars as the greatest classical theorist of primitive accumulation.
