Please explain:
(a) *how* this distinction regarding differing forms of technical change
has led to "much confusion" in discussions concerning Marx's "law of the
tendency for the general rate of profit to decline" [LTGRPD] (*specifying*
different examples of this "confusion" in the literature following Marx).
(b) *how* you believe this distinction relates to the LTGRPD and periodic
crises.
