Angela,
If I remember correctly, Shortall's crisis theory is based on the
devaluation of existing fixed capital on which interest is still owed by
the introduction of cost-cutting technical change? Isn't this similar to
Brenner's argument, though Brenner emphasizes that such destructive
competition comes from without--that is, through  international rivalry? 
But I share your enthusiasm about Shortall's and Postone's books.
best, rakesh
