I have always seen what Paul Z as focussing on as 'extended reproduction of capitalist social relations' not accumulation

But this is not any substantive criticism of what Paul C was saying. The

said to be mainstream economics.

(Even if it were, merely labeling it as such is not a valid objection to
its usage.)
