For steel , s / r is at most 966,000 . For these fibers , s / r is 17 million , about 17 times better than steel . We have seen that while s , the total amount of surplus-value , is continually increasing in the course of capitalist development , s / C is just as steadily declining , because C grows still more rapidly than s. Therefore it is by no means a contradiction for p1 , i , and r to be steadily increasing , each individually , while s / C = p / C , as well as p1 / C , i / C , and r / C , should each by itself be steadily shrinking , or that p1 should increase in relation to i , or r in relation to p1 or to p1 and i. With a rising total surplus-value or profit s = p , and a simultaneously falling rate of profit s / C = p / C , the proportions of the parts p1 , i , and r , which make up s = p , may change at will within the limits set by the total amount of s without thereby affecting the magnitude of s or s / C. Given the necessary means of production , i.e. , a sufficient accumulation of capital , the creation of surplus-value is only limited by the labouring population if the rate of surplus-value , i.e. , the intensity of exploitation , is given ; and no other limit but the intensity of exploitation if the labouring population is given .
