Just got Heinrich's Marx's Capital. Can see that I disagree with the first two points. As Grossman made clear, consumption is important to the capitalist class. Why would anyone deny this given the pornographic consumption in which they engage? They may try to (or may only be able to) maintain an "infinite" series of sums for capitalist consumption precisely by accumulation, and to the extent that accumulation interferes with their own consumption, accumulation could likely then lose meaning for them and they may withdraw. Second point: Heinrich is clearly wrong that capitalism can only develop on the basis of formally free wage labor.
