The search results look good. I have identified four strong external links from diverse, trusted domains.
External Links (4 real, live, public, diverse domains):
- History/Origin: Adam Smith Institute - The Wealth of Nations - "The accumulation of capital"31. This directly discusses Adam Smith's views on capital accumulation from "The Wealth of Nations," a foundational text. (Also relevant:30,29,28,27)
- Practical Applications: International Monetary Fund (IMF) - "The IMF's Role in Global Economy" or "How the International Monetary Fund Promotes Economic Growth and Stability"26,25,24. These results show the IMF's role in promoting economic growth through investment and policy, which relies on capital accumulation. I'll use the specific IMF page about its role in promoting economic growth.
- Limitations/Criticisms: FasterCapital - "The Impact Of Capital Accumulation On Income Distribution And Inequality"23. This discusses how capital accumulation can increase income inequality, which is a common criticism. (Also relevant:,22,21,20)
- General concept/Government body: Federal Reserve Board - "Federal Reserve Bank Capital Stock"19. While this is about bank capital stock, it's from a highly authoritative source and defines "capital stock" within a regulatory context, showing how a major economic institution views capital. It provides a real-world example of capital regulation. (Also relevant:18,17,16,15). I will clarify that this is specific to bank capital stock as a supporting example of how capital is defined and regulated by key institutions, rather than a direct definition of the broad economic concept. Alternatively, I could use a link that discusses capital stock generally from a reliable source. Let's re-evaluate the fourth one. The Federal Reserve links (8, 11, 15, 17, 19) are about Federal Reserve Bank capital stock for member banks, which is a very specific type of capital. While authoritative, it might not be ideal for a general article on Kapitalakkumulation (capital accumulation) in macroeconomics. I need a link for a more general definition or a statistical source.
Let's try searching for a general economic capital stock definition or national capital stock data from a government or academic source.
New Search 4: "Bureau of Economic Analysis capital stock definition" or "OECD capital stock statistics"
