The Rate of Profit and Crises in a Socialist Economy

Theodore Lianos

Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 1995, vol. 17, issue 2, 307-313

Abstract: In a recent paper (1994) in this journal, Elias L. Khalil makes two claims. First, he contends, the law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall is not unique to the capitalist mode of production but it is equally valid in a socialist economy. Second, a decline in the rate of profit in a socialist economy would engender crises as would be the case in a capitalist economy. Even more, he argues that crises would be necessary in any social form if there is a secular tendency of the organic composition of capital to rise.
