they still earn dividends and interest, owning capital will always be profitable until an asteroid wipes out civilization or something

>can't re-finance companies
why do they need to refinance companies specifically, do you think the economy depends on constantly refinancing loans, what the fuck are you saying

many people buy properties, refurbish them with their own labor and sell them on, I literally know a gay black couple in atlanta who do that, the economy is far from monopolized by a handful of rich people who refuse to sell anything

there are capital markets, and like the market for oranges there is supply and demand, and investments that yield high returns tend to become overinvested in, reducing the "rate of profit", but also at a certain point people are waiting 20+ years for a return on their investment and are tempted to sell which increases the rate of profit, Karl Marx's "tendency for the rate of profit to fall" is incorrect in its assumption it will fall to 0 then capitalism will collapse

you are jus "incorrect", that's all
