As he writes in the new book, “I am giving you explicit permission to use this word in a loose sense.”

    Its still better than “the tendency for the rate of profit to fall” although I wish the term was connected to the Marxist theory that proves its existence

      I have to admit that since I learned “the tendency for the rate of profit to fall” I have dropped it in to a few very inappropriate conversations. I think it could catch on!
