A Reply to Lianos's Critique

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 June 2009

Extract

Theodore P. Lianos (1995) agrees with the primary thesis of my paper (Khalil 1994), namely, if Karl Marx's theory is correct about the tendency of the rate of profit to fall in capitalist production, it should imply that all modes of production (including socialist production) also suffer from the tendency. Lianos raises two issues. One is secondary and the other is irrelevant.
