The Paradox of Capitalism

Marx and Ingalls argue that the capitalist mode of production tends toward a particular form of crisis, one when that ultimately lays the groundwork for its overthrow. Under capitalism, what you have rather is too many goods to make a viable profit on - a crisis of overproduction. And as this economic theory gets fleshed out, you also end up with related inextricable problems such as an overproduction of goods that people need but can't buy because they don't have enough money.
