In reply to Duncan's ope-l 3381:

Measurement difficulties notwithstanding, my point was that rises in the
technical and organic compositions of capital are perfectly compatible with
"capital-saving" technical change, once value is conceived as temporally and
not simultaneously determined. Hence, although Marx clearly did think that
technical change is generally of the TCC/OCC-increasing variety in capitalism,
this cannot be taken as evidence that he thought technical change is
"capital-using." Nor does there seem to be any other evidence that he thought
this.
