Crisis theory

From ProleWiki, the proletarian encyclopedia

Crisis theory seeks to identify the causes of economic crises in capitalism (these are sometimes referred to as "business cycles"). This theory is generally seen within Marxist theory and Marxian economics. Among the explanations are supply overproduction, demand underconsumption, and the tendency for the rate of profit to fall.
