Abstract: | Capital accumulation is a process of creating, on the one hand, the proletariat, the owners of labor power, and on the other hand, the capitalism, the owners of capital. This accumulation process reveals two tendencies: a) dissolution of other modes of production and subsumption of their agents to captalist production relations, and b) conversion-dissolution. This means that within a capitalist social formation the non-capitalist forms of production, before they disappear, are restructured, partly dissolved, and thus subordinated to predominant capitalist relations. Attempting to discern these tendencies in the Sudanese social formation, the author departs from the bourgeois economic theories which argue that since productivity is higher in the capitalist sector than in the subsistence sector the former offers higher wages than the latter, and focuses in particular on describing the mechanism of proletarianization, with emphasis on non-market factors which have been responsible for the ongoing process of the destruction of the peasant's form of production. - Notes, sum.
