"Capital, which has as its essence the "miserable basis" (Marx) of wealth as the exploitation of living labor and at the same time dissolves this basis through its own movement, will and must try with all its might to "maintain value as value", i.e. to let continue a form that is becoming empty and robbed of its social content, as a general mode of intercourse. This must result in catastrophic social collisions." – Robert Kurz

Under the original title 'Die Krise des Tauschwerts' the text first appeared in Marxist Criticism No. 1, March 1986, the forerunner of the theoretical journal Krisis. It was translated using google translate, redacted and read aloud by @grubernitsch.
