it's only "superficial" in Marx's framework. (Note that I put it quotes.) To use
somewhat non-Marxian termionology, he saw the volume I stuff as "essential" (the
source of surplus-value, the big picture) and the volume II stuff as more superficial.
Put another way, if you understand volume I alone, you understand his world-view
concerning capitalism, but if you look at volume III alone, you get pretty standard
economics for his time. My view is that vol. I is abstract, while vol. III is more
concrete and that both are needed.

I missed this. What's superficial in v 3?
