Marx did say that this was "the ultimate aim of this work." How can one
state "the economic law", then, before one has completed the study?
More curious is Marx's assertion that there is "the economic law" rather
than laws. If we are to speak of law, shouldn't we use the multiple? That
is, unless we believe capitalist dynamics are linear, wouldn't we have to
suggest multiple (and perhaps contradictory) laws and tendencies?
