value”[ 94 ] and more importantly“ cheapening of the elements of constant capital”[ 95 ] etc. All of these counteracting factors to the law / tendency of the general falling rate of profit, are the result of unquantifiable creative-power, which produces a general-value that, although immeasurable, ameliorates and develops the circuits of the capitalist modes of production, consumption and distribution, by stifling the law / tendency of the general falling rate of profit. For example, the devaluation of constant capital, is the product of an arbitrary social construction, or in this case, reconstruction of value and price specific to constant capital. Devaluation, betrays Marx’ s analysis, in the sense that such arbitrary devaluations, so as to advert a falling rate of profit, are indicative of the glaring fact that price and value are more the product of conceptual-perception, i. e. arbitrary social construction, than any solid immutable quantity of socially necessary labor-time. As Marx states,“ devaluation of existing capital( i. e. of its material elements)… steadily operates to stay the fall in the rate of profit”[ 96 ], but what Marx does say, is that this devaluation, is a creative solution brought forth via an expenditure of creative-power, that suspends, subverts and ultimately overcomes the law / tendency of the general falling rate of profit. Devaluation, socially constructs the values and prices of constant capital according to a different set of conceptual-perceptions, i. e. one that is not limited by a falling profit rate.
In fact, once a solution has been implemented, the law / tendency of the general falling rate of profit disappears, it no longer exerts an effect, it may return like any illness but the remedy eliminates its influence outright. In this case, creative-power has produced an unquantifiable value that is invaluable to the capitalist modes of production, consumption and distribution in overcoming the general falling rate of profit; as a result, creative-power is value-producing even if the value it produces is unquantifiable. This unquantifiable value generated via creative-power is a productive value, although priceless, in the sense that it permits capitalism to go on, that is, to develop itself, to refine itself, and to accumulate and extract surplus values of all types and kinds, ad infinitum. More importantly, this is indicative that price and value are in essence subjective, capable of conscious adjustments and re-adjustment outside the regulating mechanism of supply and demand and / or an overarching law of value, if an entity has the capabilities and the power to accomplish such a thing. Furthermore, this is the essence of all theories of conceptualcommodity-value-management, that value, price, wage and profit are manageable and capable of adjustment and re-adjustments at will, depending on one’ s level of control, the situation, overall conceptual-perception and / or the specific capitalist dilemma.
The point is that, in theory, value, price, wage and profit may be capable of unlimited artificially constructed determinations, which are completely detached from all quantifiable value-structures such as Marx’ s law of quantifiable value. If arbitrary socially constructed prices, values, wages and profits can be sustained over a long period of time and space, whether through violence, coercion, state-disciplinaryapparatuses, unions, oligarchical-networks, corporations, governments and / or associations etc., then these arbitrary values, prices, wages and profits can circumvent scientifically quantifiable values, prices, wages, and profits, i. e. any mechanical deterministic law of value, whatever this autonomous law stipulates. In this regard, the regulatory mechanism of socially necessary labor-time is thwarted. For instance, whatever a CEO dreams is his or her fair market value and price, whatever outlandish wage / price he or she dreams up for his or her services or product, is valid. It is valid, due to fact that, in this case, a ruling corporateoligarchical-network, capable of enforcing such outlandish wages / price, dictates the parameters of the price of production, i. e. overall market value, pertaining to all CEOs, outside their actual quantifiable labor-power contributions.
It is important to note, that because value, price, profit and wage are today detached from their rational value base, i. e. socially necessary labor-time and scientifically quantifiable value, a litany of mass surveillance and disciplinary apparatuses have immerged within post-industrial, post-modern bourgeoisstate-capitalism so as to safeguard and solidify socially constructed arbitrary capitalist values, profits, prices and wages. Due to the rise of socially constructed values, prices, profits and wages, and as a result
