If I point out that Marxist economic theory talks about a "crisis of capital accumulation" where capitalists (meaning those with capital to invest) don't have enough places to invest their capital succesfully, and that this is related to "financialization" as a method of opening new places to put capital (also in some circumstances "imperialism"), and that in different periods this can go up and down... in the past I usually get down-voted.




That used to happen periodically at Marx's time. One such crisis was one of the factors that led to the first World War (but then, what wasn't?)
