	Henryk Grossmann
		Henryk Grossmann (1881 - 1950) was born in Cracow and studied law and economics in Cracow and Vienna.
		From 1922 - 1925, Grossmann was Professor of economics at Warsaw University.
		While at Frankfurt in the mid-1920s, Grossmann contended that a "general tendency to cling to the results" of Marx's theory, in ignorance of the subtleties of "the method underlying Capital", was causing a catastrophic vulgarisation of marxian thought - a trend which was undermining the revolutionary possibilities of the moment.

	Grossmann: titan of the revolutionary proletariat
		Grossmann showed why a rising rate of exploitation is likely required for continuing capital accumulation if it is not to compromise capitalist consumption.
		Grossmann's demonstration that the rising rate of exploitation would issue in greater absolute misery of the working class at a late stage of acccumulation is presently being confirmed, in part by the globalization of production.
		Do note then that Grossmann does provide a different explanation for excess capacity than Brenner--not overproduction from "competition" but the insufficiency of surplus value to sustain the rate of accumulation by which there would be sufficient effective demand, as the Keynesians would put it, for the growing total output of both departments.

		Thus, in presenting Henryk Grossmann's theory as to how and why Marx abandoned his original plan, Lapides declares (133) that Capital "represents Marx's complete analysis." And, yet, insofar as he himself identifies something significantly missing from Capital, his is a curious defence of that proposition.
		Not only does he appear to not understand (or acknowledge) what is present in the work he considers, but the centerpiece of his study (the 1929 article by Henryk Grossmann on the change in Marx's original plan) is both dated and fatally flawed.
		Grossmann argued that Marx scuttled his 1858 plan for 6 separate books by mid-1863 and did so because his new understanding of the process of reproduction of capital necessitated a new plan.

	PEN-L message, [PEN-L:5869] Re: Grossmann
		Grossmann's emphasis here forced him into mortal combat with Werner Sombart who understood value as a metaphysical concept, but if that were true, there could be no such thing as a real shortage of value and surplus value to continue the accumulation process.
		Grossmann's student William J Blake carefully attempted to defend Grossmann's understanding of value theory and his critique of Sombart in what I think is still the best textbook available: Marxian Economic Theory and Its Criticism.
		Grossmann differentiates fixed from constant circulating capital on the basis of the particular use-value characteristics of the former.

		K.L.]] Unfortunately for that argument, the new elements Grossmann identified ("individual functions of industrial capitals which are carried out during their circuit--the production process, the circulation process, the process as a whole") were already present in the Grundrisse (dating from 1857-8); they could not therefore explain a subsequent change in plan. [[Lebowitz misstates Grossmann's argument.
		The fact that these elements may or may not be present in the Grundrisse is irrelevant to Grossmann's argument; he is simply saying that Marx is approaching his material from a different methodological standpoint.

	The theory of the collapse of capitalism by Anton Pannekoek (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Grossmann is only able to give the impression that he is presenting a theory of Marx’s by continually scattering in this way throughout his own statements comments which Marx made on periodic crises.
		Grossmann worries himself for several pages over the proof that it is the economic relation c:v that operates here, and not the technical relation means of production:labour power; in fact the two are identical.
		Grossmann’s mistake is that of a bourgeois economist who has never had practical experience of the struggle of the proletariat and who is consequently not in a position to understand the essence of Marxism.

	Council Communism Between the New Deal and Fascism- Gabriella M. Bonacchi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Grossmann placed this division at the base of the "two-dimensional" character of the critique of political economy.
		Grossmann's corrections and elaborations of Luxemburg's work allowed Mattick, one of the leading exponents of the American council communists, to construct the theoretical base underlying his analysis of the New Deal and fascism in International Council Correspondence.
		Grossmann's merit, then, consisted in having emphasized the revolutionary character of the Marxist method of exposition: it did not merely "reflect"empirical reality, but provided a hermeneutic interpretation; it was not mere speculation on real connections, but an active theoretical intervention over them.

	Economic Crisis and Crisis Theory by Paul Mattick 1974 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Grossmann could not have known this at the time of his own work, since Marx’s earlier text had not yet been published, but the idea of the reproduction schemas did not, therefore, have to await Marx’s discovery of 1863.
		To Grossmann’s observation that the reproduction schemas are not designed “to represent the real process of accumulation in terms of value and use value,” it must be added that Marx did not intend the schemas as pictures of the “real process of accumulation"; the schemas nevertheless deal with values as much as with use values.
		Grossmann could have given the same answer as Benedikt himself gave, along with all the discussants of the crisis problem, with either different reformist or revolutionary variations.

		In 1929 it was taken up again by Henryk Grossmann, with the publication of his book The Law of Accumulation and the Breakdown of the Capitalist System.
		Rather, the problem was the insufficient extraction of surplus value to sustain capitalist accumulation—which expressed itself in the tendency of the rate of profit to fall.
		But he dismissed Grossmann’s analysis on the grounds that, among other things, it assumed away the problems of realisation.

		Not by chance, it is this work of Grossmann which, in the early thirties (a year after the appearance of the previously discussed article by Korsch revived an important discussion within Linkskommunismus on the connection between the theory of the crash and revolutionary subjectivity.
		Thus, in Grossmann, despite repeated theoretical warnings, the genesis of proletarian class consciousness is directly and exclusively connected with crisis periods.

		A careful reading of the chapter on the mixed economy will reveal that Mattick developed a critique of Keynesian state interventionism on the basis of Marx's concept of FICTITIOUS CAPITAL of which state paper issued for the purposes of deficit financing is a form.
		Grossmann's reconstruction of Marx's crisis theory is one such strictly Marxian work; Mattick's critique of the Keynesian interventionist state is another.
		Both theories were soon after their publication massively confirmed by events: the world was thrust into Depression only months after the publication of Grossmann's magnum opus in 1929; Keynesianism went up in stagflationary ashes only a few years after the publication of Mattick's magnum opus (1969).

		His conclusion: historical materialism, by making truth claims about society and bringing concealed social contradictions to the fore, does a better job of revealing the profundity and diversity of the Chicana/o experience than is possible under the postmodern celebration of subjectivity and ambivalence.
		The result: instead of inexorable breakdown (this rigid and unsatisfactory result derived from any number of arbitrary assumptions in Grossmann's original model), Trigg finds a much more subtle outcome, in which the mass of profit (surplus value) is associated with increasing difficulties of realization.
		This is Kalecki's main point, of course, and establishes the close relation of his thought to that of Keynes.

	Who is Paul Mattick?
		What Mattick did (as did his sometime collaborator Henryk Grossmann) was to try to show how Marx's theory of crisis could be reconciled with the long boom of the period 1945-70.
		He emigrated to the United States in the mid-1920s and was involved over the following several decades in several magazines, one of which was called Living Marxism.
		In the early 1930s his group adopted the analysis made by Henryk Grossman, ie of the centrality of the law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, in relation to capitalist crisis.

	COUNCILS AND STATE IN WEIMAR GERMANY Guido De Masi and Giacomo Marramao
		Consider the polemic concerning imperialism and the crash between Fritz Sternberg and Henryk Grossmann, in addition to the latter's methodological contributions meant to reconnect the analysis of the contradictions inherent in capitalist development to the categorical framework at the basis of the critique of political economy.
		As Mattick noted: "Even for Grossmann there are no 'purely economic' problems; yet this did not prevent him, in his analysis of the law of accumulation, to restrict himself for methodological reasons to the definition of purely economic presuppositions and of thus coming to theoretically apprehend an objective limiting point of the system.
		In focusing their attention on the first two elements of the connection, Grossmann and Mattick had consciously isolated the objective aspect of the economic analysis as an abstract analysis (thus, not as a mere empirical description of the real movement) leaving aside, as a simple corollary, the theoretical problem of class consciousness and organization.

	Henryk Grossmann
		It is not a good idea to judge economic theories by what their authors say about them.
		My proof goes through as before, except for a minor teminological change: demand for investment goods is so great that there's nothing left over for capitalists' consumption, so the system breaks down.
		No Andrew, breakdown occurs because Grossmann assumes that additional constant capital WILL BE the first item purchased out of surplus value even if there is not enough left to add variable capital at the presecribed rate...and, more importantly, even if there is thus nothing left for capitalist consumption." Sure.
