Socialism sidebar expanded Key topics Socialist accumulation in particular, primitive Socialist accumulation was a concept in Socialist economy put forth in the early Soviet Union as a counterpart of the concept of primitive accumulation of capital in capitalist economy . The major proponent of the concept was Yevgeni Preobrazhensky , in his 1926 work The New Economics , based on his 1924 lecture in the Communist Academy , The Fundamental Law of Socialist Accumulation . The concept was proposed during the period of New Economic Policy NEP . Its main principle is that the state sector of the mixed economy of the transitional period has to appropriate the peasant s surplus product to accumulate resources necessary for the growth of the industry . To this end, the major mechanisms were the Foreign trade of the Soviet Union Development of the state monopoly on foreign trade foreign trade monopoly held the state and price control in favor of industry in effect, price scissors ref http www.marxists.org archive preobrazhensky 1921 fromnep biog.html Editor s biographical note to the 1962 translation of From N.E.P. to Socialism ref ref http www.marxists.org archive preobrazhensky 1921 fromnep pub intro.html Publisher s introduction to the 1962 translation of From N.E.P. to Socialism ref This theory was criticized politically and associated with Leon Trotsky and the Left Opposition , but in fact was put into practice by Joseph Stalin in the 1930s, as when Stalin said, in his speech to The Captains of Industry , that the USSR had to accomplish in a decade what England had taken centuries to do in terms of economic development in order to be prepared for an invasion from the West. Beyond lectures and textbooks, however, this theory affected the working class as well. Real wages for both regular workers and managers plummeted, despite the growing wage differential.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Accumulation can refer to a cumulative or compound increase in a variable, or to capital accumulation . Marxian economics In Karl Marx s and Adam Smith s critique of political economy, the law of accumulation refers to the way in which the accumulation of capital necessarily develops in the capitalist mode of production . The growth of capital proceeds via an increase in the organic composition of capital and goes together with the proletarianization of the population. More and more of the labor force consists of people dependent on a wage or salary for a living. Marxian economists usually distinguish between the absolute and relative immiseration of the working class. In absolute immiseration, the living standards of the working class decline absolutely. In relative immiseration, the wealth of the capitalists grows faster than the incomes of the working class. In Henryk Grossman s theory, capital accumulation leads to a gradual decline of the rate of profit, culminating in a collapse of the capitalist system.

Marxist theory Accumulation by dispossession is a concept presented by the Marxism Marxist academic David Harvey geographer David Harvey , which defines the neoliberal changes in many western nations, from the 1970s and to the present day, as being guided mainly by four practices. These are privatization , financialization , management and manipulation of crises, and state redistributions. Practices Privatization Privatization and commodification of public assets have been among the most criticised and disputed aspects of neoliberalism . Summed up, they could be characterized by the process of transferring property from public ownership to private ownership. According to Marxist theory , this serves the interests of the Bourgeoisie capitalist class , or bourgeoisie , as it moves power from the nation s governments to private parties. At the same time, privatization generates a means for profit for the capitalist class after a transaction they can then sell or rent to the public what used to be commonly owned. Financialization The wave of financialization which set in the 1980s is allowed by governmental deregulation which has made the financial system one of the main centers of redistributive activity.

Unreferenced date November 2007 Context date October 2009 Accumulation distribution index is a technical analysis indicator intended to relate price and volume in the stock market . Formula math CLV close low high close over high low math This ranges from 1 when the close is the low of the day, to 1 when it s the high. For instance if the close is 3 4 the way up the range then CLV is 0.5. The accumulation distribution index adds up volume multiplied by the CLV factor, ie. math accdist accdist prev volume times CLV math The starting point for the acc dist total, ie. the zero point, is arbitrary, only the shape of the resulting indicator is used, not the actual level of the total. The name accumulation distribution comes from the idea that during accumulation buyers are in control and the price will be bid up through the day, or will make a recovery if sold down, in either case more often finishing near the day s high than the low. The opposite applies during distribution. The accumulation distribution index is similar to on balance volume , but acc dist is based on the close within the day s range, instead of the close to close up or down that the latter uses. Chaikin oscillator A Chaikin oscillator is formed by subtracting a 10 day moving average finance Exponential moving average exponential moving average from a 3 day exponential moving average of the accumulation distribution index.

Hole Accumulation Diode HAD is a patented technique of the Sony Corporation to reduce electronic noise in a Charge coupled device CCD or CMOS imaging sensor by reducing the so called dark current that occur in the absence of light falling on the imager for noise reduction and enhanced image quality. The hole refers to places in a semiconductor where an electron has been dislodged, thus creating a positive charge. These holes or positive charges can be created by heat or imperfections in the creation of the imaging chip. The holes are accumulated, or trapped, in a separate semiconductor layer that acts as a diode that prevents them from returning or creating noise. HAD technology suppresses the fixed pattern noise that results from dark current that occurs regardless of the amount of absorbed light. By fabricating a hole accumulation layer below the surface of the CCD, dark current can be suppressed at the source. HAD CCDs are used in consumer and professional single, as well as, three chip video camera s.

Development and tax treatment The concept of an A&M trust emerged in England and Wales after the enactment of the Capital Taxes Act 1974 CTA . The CTA discouraged the use of discretionary trusts by introducing new tax rules, but it made a specific exception for trusts designed to help young people under the age of 25 . This particular type of trust grew in significance over the years and became known as an Accumulation & Maintenance Trust. They came to fall under the purview of s.71 Inheritance Tax Act 1984 IHTA , which continued their special tax treatment The Finance Act 2006 took A&M Trusts out of the purview of s.71. Today, A&M Trusts are governed by Pt. III, Ch. III IHTA, and therefore receive exactly the same tax treatment as other types of discretionary trusts. As a result, the use of A&M trusts is declining rapidly. The new breed of 18 25 trusts are taking their place. Category Wills and trusts ... more details

In game theory , differential games are a group of problems related to the modeling and analysis of conflict in the context of a dynamical system. The problem usually consists of two actors, a pursuer and an evader, with conflicting goals. The dynamics of the pursuer and the evader are modeled by systems of differential equations. Differential games are related closely with optimal control problems. In an optimal control problem there is single control math u t math and a single criterion to be optimized differential game theory generalizes this to two controls math u t ,v t math and two criteria, one for each player. Each player attempts to control the state of the system so as to achieve his goal the system responds to the inputs of both players.
