Still with me? Then take a deep, deep breath and get
ready for the kick in the head:

"Six years later however, in 1867 the word was still

CB: Are you talking about the word "capitalist" ? Look at Part VIII , The SoCalled Primitive Accumulation, Chapters XXIX "Genesis of the Capitalist Farmer and XXXI Genesis of the Industrial Capitalist. I was reading Chapter VII and Marx used the term "capitalist" several times.
Couldn't believe it myself. Got out the Ben Fowkes translation of _Capital_, v1 and checked the index: sure enough, the term used is "Capitalist mode of production." Checked v2, translated by David Fernbach: same thing. Braudel makes the sweeping claim: "This word which Marx never used was incorporated into the Marxist model."
