As the economist Stephen Cullenberg pointed out, for Marx, the law of falling rate of profit is the most important law of political economy. The central theses of this study are [a] that Marx’s law of falling rate of profit is an idealized law in the sense that the law should be seen within a theoretical model Marx constructed to represent an aspect of capitalist mode of production, and [b] that the law is perspectival in the Gierean sense, that is, it is limited, partial, contingent, context-, agent- and purposedependent.
