Re V3, Ch. 14:
Marx indicates six "counteracting factors" to the "law of the tendency for
the general rate of profit to decline." In the introductory paragraph to
the chapter he asserts that these
[1. more intensive exploitation of labour;
2. reduction of wages below their value;
3. cheapening of the elements of constant capital;
4. the relative surplus population;
5. foreign trade;
6. the increase in share capital]
are -- "the most general of these factors."
That, of course, leads me to the following two questions:
Q1: What are the "less general", and unspecified, "counteracting
factors"?
Q2: Did Marx suggest elsewhere in his writings any other "counteracting
factors" than the ones listed above?
