Note 92 — Chapter V · A CRITICISM OF THE MARXIAN LAW OF THE FALL IN THE RATE OF PROFITSToC

This is the case contemplated by Ricardo in the celebrated § 44 of chapter vi, On Profits: Marx appears to attach little importance to this case, having complete faith in the continued technical progress of agriculture, not to speak of other counteracting causes. It is necessary to add that Marx in conformity with his law, maintains that the rent of land also has a tendency to fall, although it may increase its total amount, or its proportion in reference to industrial profits: see vol. iii, 223-4.
