Merge Financial Capitalism into Finance Capitalism?

• No

The suggestion to merge the Financial Capitalism into Finance Capitalism is a poor one. While the two concepts are related they are different, both separated in terms of ideas and in time. Finance Capitalism is an idea that is part and parcel of the 19th century economic analysis of Karl Marx, based on the Labour Theory of Value and with an emphasis on crude commodity production and exchange. Financial Capitalism is a more recent concept linked to more sophisticated analysis of social, financial and economic phenomena with also a broader genus of late 20th century writers. If there were to be a merger, Finance Capitalism could become a sub-section of Financial Capitalism, and then as some sort of historical predecessor with a more limited approach.Odin 85th gen (talk) 20:01, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes

Both articles cover the same ground (as opposed to the more technical Financial capital which is rather different (see below) Jacobisq (talk) 10:42, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Merge Financial capitalism and Finance Capitalism into Financial capital?

• Yes Lycurgus "Finance Capital" is the Marxist designation for this section of of the entire Capital layer. The two articles proposed for merge are essentially misnomers. I've corrected the merge tags at all 3 articles. (talk) 04:59, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

No. The two capitalisms are talking about economic systems. Finance capital is about something else - a (technical) aspect of (potentially broader categories of) economic systems. Jacobisq (talk) 10:47, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
