At the later stages of a "long recession" this excess depreciation will be much less (or zero, if there has been stagnation). Speaking in terms of "long waves" and placing so much weight on the active role of the rate of growth of capital, we may well ask how the process is hemmed in - bounded - within what are after all fairly narrow limits. In the upward direction the limits are given by resources: They make themselves felt as bottlenecks. Basically the speed of development is limited by the capacity of people and of a society to learn.
