description: My aim is to get you to read a book by Karl Marx called Capital Volume 1 and to read it on Marxs own termsThe biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression has generated a surge of interest in Marxs work in the effort to understand the origins of our current predicament. For nearly forty years David Harvey has written and lectured on Capital becoming one of the worlds most foremost Marx scholars.Based on his recent lectures this current volume aims to bring this depth of learning to a broader audience guiding first-time readers through a fascinating and deeply rewarding text. A Companion to Marxs Capital offers fresh original and sometimes critical interpretations of a book that changed the course of history and as Harvey intimates may do so again.David Harveys video lecture course can be found here: davidharvey.org/reading-capital/
