I'm thinking he didn't want those following  his approach to spend too much time in developing reform programs and struggle to the detriment of revolutionary struggle. Not to mention his  position was that capitalism couldn't be reformed; that crises can't be gotten rid of, no matter how good the crisis theory, no ? He finished Vol. I and in the penultimate chapter mentions the expropriation of the expropriators. He lived for 13 years after 1867, plenty of time to finish a theory of crises. <

anything is possible. We could psychoanalyze him find out. Or maybe it
was those horrible carbuncles.

But wasn't Marx sick a during those 17 years? or involved in politics
and/or journalism? Note that he was also something of a perfectionist
in his writing and didn't finish most of his books so that we read
unfinished books published only after his death.
