The best book on Marx I think I ever read was by Karl Korsch. it was written in the mid-1930s. I actually thought it was better than the book for which Korsch is most renowned, 'Marxism and Philosophy'. Korsch also wrote an excellent introduction to a 1930s edition of Capital: https://rdln.wordpress.com/2013/09/20/karl-korsch-on-tremendous-and-enduring-impact-of-marxs-capital-1932/ Another excellent piece on Capital - well, capital, the working class and Marx's critique of political economy: https://rdln.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/capital-the-working-class-and-marxs-critique-of-political-economy/ And an excellent piece by one of my favourite writers on Marx's philosophy and economics, the late and lamented Geoff Pilling, here on Marx's critique of classical political economy: https://rdln.wordpress.com/2014/03/04/marxs-critique-of-classical-political-economy/ Phil _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
