moral depreciation
......New inventions and products have as a result the
moral depreciation of equipment purchased in the past...........

just as an example, this is what I understood under moral depreciation, i.e. depreciation NOT due to frequent use or 'old age' This ``moral depreciation'' threatens the capitalist with a loss on capital account. He may purchase an expensive new piece of capital equipment, only to find that shortly thereafter its value is drastically reduced by some further innovation
