In the M-C-M’ cycle, which stands for Money-Commodity-More Money, capitalists grow their wealth by starting with money (M) to buy commodities (C), like raw materials and labor, that are needed for production. These commodities are used to create products, which are then sold for more money (M’) than was originally spent. The goal is to make a profit, which comes from selling the products at a higher price than the cost of making them. By repeating this process and reinvesting the profits, capitalists can keep increasing their wealth over time. This cycle shows how they turn money into more money by adding value during production and selling goods for a profit.

For Example, a coffee shop owner who starts with $500 (M) to buy coffee beans, milk, sugar, and pay the baristas (C). After making and selling coffee drinks, they bring in $800 (M’). The $300 difference is their profit. By using this profit to buy more supplies and maybe hire extra staff, the coffee shop can serve more customers next time, boosting their earnings. This shows how the M-C-M’ cycle works by turning initial money into more money through smart production and sales in a simple coffee business.
