Profit, Accumulation, and Crisis in Capitalism

By studying Marx's theory predicted long-term movement of the profit rate and its impact on capital accumulation, this book may provide insight into whether the Chinese economy is heading into a crisis as China’s profit rate approaches levels that historically were associated with major crises in other capitalist economies.

Karl Marx hypothesized that there is a long-term tendency for the profit rate to fall in capitalist economies. Immanuel Wallerstein hypothesized that capitalist development tends to drive up labor cost, material cost, and taxation cost. This book evaluates Marxs and Wallersteins hypotheses by studying the long-term movement of the profit rate and contributing factors in major capitalist economies. During the twentieth century, leading capitalist economies largely succeeded in stabilizing the profit rate. However, the current decline of the profit rate in China may precipitate the global capitalist economy into a new major crisis. As economic growth slows down in all major capitalist economies, Marxs original hypothesis may be verified by the global economic events in the twenty-first century.
