Periodizations of capitalism

A periodization of capitalism seeks to distinguish stages of development that help understanding of features of capitalism through time. The best-known periodizations that have been proposed distinguish these stages as:

  1. Early or concurrential/ monopoly/ state monopoly capitalism (Sweezy etc.)
  2. Free trade/ monopoly/ finance capitalism (Hilferding etc.)
  3. Early capitalism (primitive accumulation)/ colonialism/ imperialism (Hobson, Lenin, Bukharin)
  4. Extensive stage/ intensive stage/ (late capitalism) (Aglietta)

The Marxist periodization of capitalism into the stages:[1] agricultural capitalism, merchant capitalism, industrial capitalism and state capitalism.

Another periodization includes merchant capitalism, industrial and finance capitalism, and global capitalism.[2][3] [4]
