1) Where does Marx discuss the above?
2) If we look at the early period in the development of the textile
industry during the industrial revolution, didn't the advances in mass
production and new process technologies precede the development of new
product technologics?
3) What would be the logical reason for asserting that technical change in
terms of the development of new product technologies associated with firms
producing means of consumption would develop at an earlier time than the
development of new process technologies by firms producing means of
production?
