    True. Innovation on the public dime could also increase rate of profit, but capitalism also tends to drive public investment down even when it benefits them long term, so I feel like that is still a pretty big hole in the theory.

    He’s basically saying that if a firm innovates, it provides a cost savings for themselves that increases the profit without having to squeeze workers, and that the savings for the customers down the supply chain from them also provide increased profits.

    However, capitalist firms don’t innovate. So his cute little theory is bullshit.
