capital, volume 2 first impressions: a lot of math. volume 1 used a lot of math, yes, but it was much more history and economics focused. volume 2 is now expanding on the grounds established in volume 1, which in my physical copy takes up nearly HALF of the collated book

i might end up making a portion of the site like mental-labour does for proper reflections on leftist media and what i actually get out of it. i don't often write down this stuff. there's always the low-hanging fruit of, "summarize capital," but many people've done that already. there's a difference between a summary and an analysis
Man, kudos to you for even trying. I couldn't get through Capital vol2 because of how DENSE it is with the math. I'm not an economist and hurts my little pea brain XD
yeapyeap; i intend to go through all three volumes, then theories of surplus value (the ussr hypothesized it was the rough draft for capital, volume 4), finish what is to be done? by lenin, and then probably go through the vietnamese guide to dialectical materialism and subsequent historical materialism. not sure where to go from there. maybe some more mao or che. ho chi minh is rather brief w no books afaik
yeah What Is to Be Done is a lot more accessible for me as opposed to Capital. have fun with the reading! It's incredible how relevant it all is over two hundred years later ;w;
