Just FYI: Marx’s labor theory of value is hard and if you think it’s wrong you’re probably misinterpreting it/missing the point.

Capital still has me confused, and I have a study guide for it.

I kinda feel like I need a study guide and a terabyte more brain RAM to really get it.

I have three translations of the text and all of them are still hard.  All I can say is take a lot of notes

and the introduction to the Penguin classics edition is somewhat helpful

http://www.amazon.com/Companion-Marxs-Capital-David-Harvey/dp/1844673596/ref=pd_bxgy_14_text_y

this is for a class that is specifically about Capital.

There’s a volume two also with more stuff.

I read Capital chapter one, I them read the guide chapter one, I then read Capital chapter one again.

It was still too dense for me. I feel like such an idiot.

I didn’t take notes, maybe that was the problem. It felt like too much info swimming in my head at once.

Notes are crucial, and the reading group helps
