general rate of profit, n.All

The General rate of profit (n.) remains, ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠unless derived from value, a meaningless and irrational conception.

The General rate of profit (n.) exists ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠only as a tendency, the end-product of opposing movements that only investigation can establish — never as a palpable daily fact like interest.
