The Structural Crisis of Capital

The Structural Crisis of Capital refers to a fundamental imbalance in the economy where the production system's growth slows down, causing issues like rising unemployment, stagnant wages, and inequality. It occurs because economic growth relies on effective investment and consumer demand, but over time, profits tend to concentrate among the wealthy, reducing overall spending. This leads to insufficient demand for goods and services, resulting in economic stagnation or crises. Essentially, it's a systemic problem where the existing economic structure hampers sustainable growth, requiring changes to investment, distribution, or regulation to restore stability.
