"Accumulation, because it is based on exploitation, cannot be sustained at the level of the individual producer–employer alone. It required legal, ideological and cultural institutions; it needs state organs and other power organizations; it has to be framed, shaped and contained from above. In short, it requires the political power of a (nation) state."
