Reddit reviews 'Marx's Capital': Fifth Edition

There's a lot of information out there. Marx's capital is very dense but well worth the read, and I recommend reading it in chunks then branching out and researching the topics to get a deeper understanding.

Don't be afraid to look at classic material: Marx, Engels, Lenin, Luxemburg, Gramsci, etc.

Consider starting with this book

I regret losing it. I don't know how I did it, but I lost my 1000 page book. I was about 5/7s done too, after about a year of study.

[this](Marx's 'Capital' https://www.amazon.com/dp/0745330169/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_o25Eyb7KNJZTD) is a helpful companion or refresher for those interested.

I agree with Wage, Labour, and Capital and it was actually among some of the first books I suggested for here. It has the added bonus of being freely available as an audiobook. I had originally thought we'd be a group for more "advanced" Marxist writings but I think we have such a varied group that covering some "basic" texts will be very useful. I agree with your assessment of Capital. I've read it (and WLC) myself and as I've said elsewhere we'd have to have a group of posters/"teachers" and a sizeable amount of commenters/"students" willing to stick with it.

I'll look into your suggestions. I've definitely been wanting to read some Gramsci. Another thing I was thinking of getting and suggesting is Ben Fine's "Marx's Capital" which attempts to summarize and explain all three volumes.

Well, just go read it yourself dumbass. See Saad-Filho and Fine, Marx's Capital. They're both actual Marxist economists and explicitly point out how his version differs from other classical economists.
