Review title: Wonderful Analysis of Capital and Political Economy
Product review: Well, many others have already explained in detail the specifics of the book, so I'll only touch on those a little. This book is a critique of the *science* of political economy and a thorough investigation of the capitalist mode of production. Marx does those two things brilliantly...offering up many ideas that still stand today and making predictions that have been eerily accurate.The first two chapters are a bit hard to digest....they force the reader to learn the terminology of neo-classical economics (Marx was shortly post-Smith and post-Ricardo). After that, however, the book flows quite well.On the down side, I believe a more straighforward presentation would have been better. I think Marx delves too deeply into personal examples from industrial England...though a few of them add to the personality of the book. I'm eagerly awaiting to read the 2nd and 3rd volumes of Capital.
