Fundamentals of Marx: Fixed and Fluid Capital

In this brief video we go over fixed and fluid capital as concepts in Marxist economics. How did Marx define and operationalize these terms? What are the differences between fixed and fluid capital and where do they belong in the process of accumulation?

For more on this topic, see Marx's "Capital: Volume 2" (the primary source for used for the video).

I wish this could be explained in simpler terms, so that the people who don't understand or haven't yet learned marxist theories could better grasp the concepts lined out in the video.

I wish your videos were around when I was first learning this stuff! Thanks for the hard work you put into each of these.

Marx never saw a mass consumer society. What happens to the depreciation of durable consumer goods? The NDP equation which economists never mention does not include the depreciation of durable consumer goods.

How much has the annual depreciation of automobiles purchased by consumers since Sputnik amounted to? Is consumerism with planned obsolescence really Capitalism?

Hey, Im an idiot here trying to understand marxism. I imagine this video was highly useful but a little over my head. My friend was telling me capital means money but I'm pretty sure that's nonsense. What is capital in Marixism? Someone please explain?
