That's what Frederich Engels was for. Since his family owned factories, alot of the accounting was used for empirical sources on how capitalism functioned.
What else you have to remember is that what everyone took to mean by "capitalism" was industrial production.
What Adam smith and Karl Marx didnt see coming was the banking sector completely overshadowing all the progress from feudalism that Capitalism achieved. What most people thought was coming was some kind of socialism.
Modern economists are total shills for banks and the financial sector. Everyone knows intuitively there's a difference between price and value, which Modern economists argue against. They also argue rent seeking is good for the economy.
Industrial capitalism is what produces wealth for society. The reason America was able to Deindustrialize while remaining "wealthy" is because banks print US money as DEBT. This debt will never be paid off. That's why the gold standard was gotten rid of, countries like France were starting to cash in their worthless dollar bills for real assets like gold which was going to crash the American scam economy.
This is around the same time the US blackmailed Saudi Arabia into selling oil in USD to artificially inflate the price of the currency, because no one wanted shitty USD.
Yes, its really that simple. America is a nation of usurers backed by their military (the IMF, the world bank,etc). They print USD to buy assets around the world with no intention of paying the government debt, and since so many countries hold USD treasuries, they're in a position where if the USD crashed so would their economies.
Finally, this is why the US hates China. China is an actually productive nation as everyobe from smith to marx understood that is not run by usurers.
Trump says China scams the US in trade, when its obvious the USA scams China since Americans get real goods for fake money.
