Last I heard capital recommended the person said chapters 1-4.
Chapters or volumes? If chapters, that's an odd place to stop imo. If volumes... well I guess they like Kautsky lol
Chapters, they said that’s where the essential stuff is if your not going to read the whole thing.
In that case I wouldn't recommend Capital at all. You'd be suffering through a challenging work just to pick up 1/10th of it and are almost guaranteed to think Marx overlooked a lot of things. Instead, some kind of summary will be better. Maybe the Heinrich introduction followed by reading Michael Roberts to counter some of Heinrich's anti-ML, anti-TRPF ideas.
Huh, I may have been misremembering, so idk. I’ve personally read a summary book of capital and grundrisse, and have a copy of vol 1, but am scared to open it.
