> Happy 191st birthday to Karl Marx!
>
Shoulda known?! On Marx's birthday, I began listening to David Harvey's lectures/class on Capital, vol.I, ( http://davidharvey.org/reading-capital/) as I drove the hour from East Lansing to Mount Pleasant - what a great introduction and accessible delivery!... at least in lecture one.
I read all three volumes in a working seminar run by Jim O'Connor in grad school (just blew my mind (even with a lot of prep via repeated trips through Tucker's Reader, Ollman's Alienation, Smith's Uneven Development and Sayers' Violence of Abstraction by that point) and have assigned v.1 in a seminar requested by my grad students at MSU, so it's great to get a slightly different presentation... most particularly because, embarrassingly, I've only ever scanned Limits to Capital.
