^^^^ CB: Perlman says:
The present essay will outline some of the central themes of Marx's political economy, particularly the themes which are treated in Rubin's Essays on Marx's Theory of Value. Rubin's book is a comprehensive, tightly argued exposition of the core of Marx's work, the theory of commodity fetishism and the theory of value. Rubin clarifies misconceptions which have resulted, and still result, from superficial readings and evasive treatments of Marx's work.
^^^^^ CB: Would seem simpler ,ohhh sorry, more efficient if we just read (deeply, not superficially) the first three chapters of _Capital_ Vol. I. if we wanted to get at the core of Marx's work , theory of commodity fetishism and theory of value.
