: What are youre reactions? There have been 'victim of its own success' predictions about capitalism around for some time in academic works.

Well, the model of crisis I prpound on this board clearly demonstrates that this is so- capitalism, a system preicated fundamentally upon scarcity, produces more and more goods, eventually effectively destroying scarcity, and thereby the conditions of its own existence. through creating plenty, it undoes its own logic. It won't coallapse, but it will suffer repeated crises as a result.
