I'm not sure what you are referring to since I made no mention of either
the turnover of fixed capital or the periodicity of crisis in #628.
My comments in that post concerned your assertion concerning the relation
of the LTGRPD to crisis. In OPE-L:630, you said "Sorry about that stuff
at the end." I interpreted that to mean that you agreed with me. Was I
wrong for so believing?

I assume you are referring to Volume 2 which was written after Volume 3,
is that correct?

We seem to be saying the same thing, i.e. that subjects such as the
turnover of fixed capital, the mechanisms of crisis, and the ways in
which the LTGRPD expresses itself and is modified at more concrete levels
of determination, need further investigation. Of course, we do not know
how Marx would have further examined these topics ... but that doesn't
mean that we shouldn't examine those subjects and try to consider the
general relation of these topics to the rest of Marx's work and the
logical structure in which they should be considered.
