Abstract
Marxian business cycle research places great importance on the turn in profit rates and profitability in driving capitalist cycles.

Goldstein points out that wage growth begins to exceed revenue growth in stage three or four, and, therefore, wages contribute to the decline in business profitability that eventually ends the expansion.
