How to Read Marx's Capital

One of the world's leading Marxist scholars provides extensive commentary and lucid explanations of questions and quandaries that arise when encountering Marx's masterwork. Deploying multiple appendices referring to other pertinent writings by Marx, Heinrich reveals what is relevant about Capital, and why we need to engage with it today. Michael Heinrich taught economics for many years at the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin and was managing editor of PROKLA: Journal for Critical Social Science. He has written in depth on Marx's critique of political economy in his book, The Science of Value. His An Introduction to the Three Volumes of Karl Marx's Capital is the most popular introduction to Marx's economic works in Germany and has been translated into ten languages. He is the author of a projected four-volume biography of Marx. Volume I, Karl Marx and the Birth of Modern Society, was published in 2019.
