What > is wrong with this measure? A hypothesis, if valid, must be valid for all conditions that the hypothesis refers to. If wages are nil, as they are when there is the Maximum Rate of Profit, then the hypothesis is either invalid or needs to be modified by redefining the Maximum R and dropping the V = 0 assumption.
