What is the origin of capital concentration?

To understand the origin of capital concentration, we need to explore the concept of capital concentration. According to Marxism-Leninism, capital concentration is the increase in the scale of individual capital by merging existing individual capitals in society into a larger individual capital. Competition and credit are the strongest levers promoting capital concentration.

Due to competition, individual capitals voluntarily link or merge together. Capitalist credit serves as a means to concentrate idle funds in society into the hands of capitalists.

From the aforementioned concept of capital concentration, we can understand that the origin of capital concentration is the existing individual capitals in society which, due to competition, lead to voluntary linkage or merging.

The origin of capital concentration directly reflects the competitive relations within the capitalist class and also affects the relationship between capital and labor.
