Hickel Karl Marx's key error is the idea that capitalism develops according to laws, that these laws are described by the tendency of the profit rate to drop, and that in the long run the system must collapse. This hypothesis has proven to be wrong, because capitalism has repeatedly found new ways of dealing with its crises.
