Abstract
In Marxist theories, crises are understood as an inherent phenomenon of the development of productive forces and, as such, endogenous to the capitalist mode of production. Crisis are thus the way in which the internal capitalist contradictions
manifest and the manner in which they are solved. In the 1970s, the law of the falling rate of profit reinvigorated, culminating in the emergence of a wide range of interpretations within the Marxist analysis. In this sense, the aim of this paper is to present the interpretations about crisis, centered in the profit rate dynamics, of Shaikh (1983; 2011), Duménil and Lévy (2014), Kliman (2012), as well as their controversies about the current crisis.
