The article offers a critical view on the cost limit problem in the new era’s economic strategy. Analysis of the modern circulation of capital shows that, in addition to cer tain signs of the capital transformation, such as transition to abstract money in the absence of money linking to a universal material equivalent, displacement of physical labour from material production and, as a consequence, a change in the organic structure of capital, which limits final consumption, it becomes necessary to have the institution of a lender of last resor t and to develop a mechanism for refinancing loans. All this results in formation of accelerating capital as a new, more ef ficient form of capital, which is characterized primarily by the possibilit y of expanding supply through welfare growth. The authors illustrate how many times the accelerator capital is more ef fective than the financial capital. From this, they conclude that accelerator capital overcomes the cost limit when capital extracts profit from the growth of a human well-being and welfare of the societ y as a whole.
