Opposed to or against capital, capital accumulation, or capitalist economics.
From anti- (against) + capital, from Latin capitalis (of the head or chief), originally meaning 'principal' in economic sense. The prefix reflects 19th-20th century political movements.
The term 'anticapital' emerged alongside Karl Marx's ideas—it represents centuries of tension between people who see capital (accumulated wealth) as the engine of progress versus those who see it as the root of inequality.
