With 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. Paragraph 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.
