Speculation as speculative capital, denotes something different than speculation - risk taking, on the part of finance capital during the era of Lenin. Speculative capital as a concept means investment and risk taking on the basis of financial institutions more than less detached from production of commodities. Speculative capital as a form and sector of capital rises to domination on the basis of revolution in the productive forces.
