According to Marx, the law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall(TRPF)
is to be regarded as a law that corresponds to the level of abstraction of ideal
average, whereas the presentation of periodical crises belongs to that of real
competition. Because of misunderstanding about the methodological difference
between the two levels of abstraction, the theory of falling rate of profit failed to
distinguish the declining tendency of the general rate of profit and the sudden
fall of market rate of profit in crises. It is a fundamental fallacy of the theory of
falling rate of profit that periodical crises are explained in terms of the declining
tendency of the general rate of profit. It should be methodologically emphasized
that, while the general rate of profit presupposes the equilibrium of demand and
supply, crises occur as a result of overproduction of commodities, and
consequently of a slump in market rate of profit.
Key words: the law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall(TRPF), the
general rate of profit, market rate of profit, ideal average, real competition,
the law of value, the industrial cycle
