Perpetual revolutions in technology can mean the devaluation of fixed capital on an extensive scale.

Neoliberalization has not been very effective in revitalizing global capital accumulation, but it has succeeded remarkably well in restoring, or in some instances (as in Russia and China) creating, the power of an economic elite.
