There is a vocal group in Germany currently arguing along these lines, the Krisis Group, aka "apocalytical marxists". Robert Kurz is the most famous of them.
Thesis: Capital has become unable to exploit because of the microelectronic revolution which unlike older advances in technology has a negative job record. This state of affairs is dissumlated by inflation of ficitious capital. But the day of reckoning will come.
