How to Read Marx's Capital: Commentary and Explanations on the Beginning Chapters - Michael Heinrich

Descriere How to Read Marx's Capital: Commentary and Explanations on the Beginning Chapters - Michael Heinrich

\n \nAn accessible companion to Karl Marx's essential Capital \n \nWith the recent revival of Karl Marx's theory, a general interest in reading Capital has also increased. But Capital-Marx's foundational nineteenth-century work on political economy-is by no means considered an easily understood text. Central concepts, such as abstract labor, the value-form, or the fetishism of commodities, can seem opaque to us as first-time readers, and the prospect of comprehending Marx's thought can be truly daunting. Until, that is, we pick up Michael Heinrich's How to Read Marx's Capital. \n \nParagraph by paragraph, Heinrich provides extensive commentary and lucid explanations of questions and quandaries that arise when encountering Marx's original text. Suddenly, such seemingly gnarly chapters as The Labor Process and the Valorization Process and Money or the Circulation of Capital become refreshingly clear, as Heinrich explains just what we need to keep in mind when reading such a complex text. Deploying multiple appendices referring to other pertinent writings by Marx, Heinrich reveals what is relevant about Capital, and why we need to engage with it today. How to Read Marx's Capital provides an illuminating and indispensable guide to sorting through cultural detritus of a world whose political and economic systems are simultaneously imploding and exploding.\n
