Why not a century?  Why not a millennium? Doesn't there have to be
some correspondence between theoretical time and real time?
Without such a correspondence, then the "breakdown" that
Grossmann postulates could be deemed to be potentially so
distant in the future that workers and capitalists need not be
concerned about it.

In solidarity, Jerry
