Reading Marx Capital Volume 1

The list author says:
	"This abridged version is good and cuts out many of the lengthier footnotes; to study it you need the proper edition though."

The list author says:
	"This is the version required for close reading. All the various prefaces and comments are here, plus it's more accurate and cheaper than the collected works version."

The list author says:
	"Here we have the commodity-fetish collectors version. Nicely bound, and you may find one printed in Moscow! Check the publisher's website for corrections, and to study buy Penguin's edition."

The list author says:
	"Harvey has taught Das Kapital to university students for 40 years. A web-search for "Reading Capital Harvey" will bring up free videos of his lecture series."

The list author says:
	"This is only a partial version of what Althusser and his students produced; it has many problems, but is still worth a look. It can be found free online too."

The list author says:
	"The PhD thesis behind this book is now 35 years old, yet still this is a great biography of Das Kapital and analysis of its content."

The list author says:
	"Wheen essentially does a hatchet job on Das Kapital. If you want to be reassured Marx is no threat to your liberal, suburban conceptions of economy read this book."

The list author says:
	"Karatani suggests this work, not Hegel's, is that which should be cross-referenced with Das Kapital. Here we find Marx's ethico-critical background."

The list author says:
	"Situationism has become much maligned, however this book is like a manifesto spawned by Das Kapital for the media age."

The list author says:
	"Short, but useful, certainly better than Cliff Notes! A Good Place to begin."

The list author says:
	"A difficult book (or actually lecture notes), but Das Kapital invokes this against Adam Smith and David Ricardo. Note paragraphs 244-246 and the proximity between Marx and Hegel's positions."

The list author says:
	"Kapital I tacitly dialogues constantly with this work. Marx accepts Smith's premises, but concludes that Smith's free market ends in immiseration of workers not utopia for all."

The list author says:
	"Marx was clearly somewhat in awe of Ricardo, and borrows a lot, but importantly qualifies Ricardo's labour theory of value with exchange value. This is the dialectic in Kapital I, Part 1."

The list author says:
	"This book by Bailey seemed to allow Marx to go beyond Ricardo, and then Bailey himself, creating "mature Marx". Available free through Google books."
