What dissipates under capitalism is the ability of a given "capital" to accumulate surplus value. That's why technological change is so crucial to capitalism -- and why Schumpeter was so insistent on "creative.destruction." The question is not whether capitalism dissipates, but: how long can the cycles of technological change continue before their ability to accumulate surplus value runs out too.
