TECHNICAL CHANGE A LA MARX AND THE PROFIT RATE

This paper elaborates on the analysis developed by Marx in Capital of the existence of a number of underlying historical tendencies within capitalism, concerning technical change and distribution, and, in particular, a declining profit rate (Capital, Vol. III, Ch. 13 to 15). The demonstration hinges on Marx's view that the emergence of new techniques is biased toward capital-consuming innovations, a transformation which is reflected in quite specific features of technical change: the increasing technical and organic compositions of capital.
