On a related note, what sort of studies exist that specifically discuss
devalorization of capital (not dumping technology in the Third World) but
rather consciously destroying physical capital by capitalists.  At the
abstract we can argue that this is necessary to rejuvenate the capitalist
order but how do we explain such an aggregate response?  Is it necessary?
Is it enough to
say that it is simply firm strategy (something like planned obsolescence)
to stay in the competitive market game?  Is conscious
(deliberate) devalorization common?  What example do we have of this?
