- Capitalists come to the table with capital and are able to buy themselves into the market as opposed to trading a product for money in order to create more products. The model M-C-M implies the capitalist uses their money to purchase a commodity in which they sell for a higher price than they originally obtained it for. Because capitalists do not create anything themselves, they are able to turn over profit at a higher rate by simply putting more of their money back in circulation and buying more product to sell, rather than spending time having to make it themselves. Eventually, as history has shown, the capitalist decides to become the overall manufacturer in which they can hire labor to make the product at a wage, and claim the surplus profit for themselves. This is how they are able to maintain their wealth.
