It seems so.
A sudden shortage of a raw material can indeed disrupt the circulation of
exchange but that is not necessarily the same as a crisis of capitalist
accumulation.
That is why I am asking for clarity about
the economy of human energy, in particular that of exchange value,
the economy of non-human energy,
and the economy of other raw materials;
how they interrelate and how they are essentially separate processes.
