Study guide for Capital - Harry Cleaver

I notice Harry Cleaver's website now covers up to chapter 33. So whoever knows how to work this whole internet malarkey might want to add the extra chapters to Libcom.

We begin with Part VIII of Capital instead of Part I for two reasons. In the first place, Part VIII is a lot easier to read, being less abstract and richer with historical detail. The chapters of Part I, which deal with "value" and money, tend to be very abstract and terse. In the second place, the study of Part VIII, which shows how the capitalist system originated, i.e., how capital originally created the working class and imposed its system on it, provides a very useful point of reference for the careful dissection of value in Part I.
