For the study of Marxism, and all the tendencies that fall beneath it.

Read Lenin.

A criticism of this essay published in Jacobin https://jacobin.com/2023/09/robert-brenner-marxist-economics-falling-rate-of-profit-stagnation-overcapacity-industrial-policy

Something which is alluded to briefly in this essay but I want more on is the increase in the rate of exploitation as a way to stave off profitability crisis. It seems like that is a good measure for how much worse things have gotten for working class people over the last few decades, really accelerating considerably since covid. Does anyone have anything good to read on that?

Yeah I read most of his stuff. Maybe I'll search around and see if there is anything related in older posts
