This chapter focuses on Monopoly Capital and the ensuing debate. The model centers on the giant corporation, the concept of economic surplus vs. the Marxian one of surplus value, the tendency of surplus to rise, and the problem of its absorption, and the inherent tendency to stagnation. Counteracting forces include waste, public spending (especially military), war, and "epoch-making innovations."
