Now Reading – Capital Volume I
For my next book, I’m going to tackle Karl Marx’s Capital Volume I. If you remember, this book is part of my Marx Reading Challenge. I’m reading the Penguin Classics paperback version of the book translated by Ben Fowkes. Here’s what the back of the book says: One of the most notorious works of modern [...]
Coming Soon – Resumption of ‘Marx’ Reading Challenge
It’s another happy Sunday! What an interesting last few days it’s been. Between the snow, ice, and cold, a lot of other things have been going on aside from reading. I’m still reading President Obama’s The Audacity of Hope, but I can’t help but look forward a bit today. Coming up next, I will resume/continue [...]
My Thoughts On Grundrisse
This evening I completed the first book from my Marx reading challenge, Grundrisse. I began this book the week of Christmas, and given the length, I’m pretty pleased with the time it took me to complete it. As I have mentioned in my previous posts about the book, I found the book to be very [...]
New Reading Material
Today I went to the library and managed to pick up two of the books on my list for this year to read. Both are by President Obama. I managed to get Dreams From My Father, which I will be reading after I complete Grundrisse, in paperback, and The Audacity of Hope in hardcover. I [...]
Grundrisse – Notebook VI
This evening, not only will I complete 100 pages of Grundrisse that I wished to get through this weekend, but I’ll also be completing Notebook VI and starting the seventh and final Notebook of the book. Notebook VII will bring to a conclusion Marx’s thoughts on theories of surplus value. Notebook VII also includes the [...]
Weekend Reading & Week In Review
This weekend I’m very pleased that I’ve managed to get through almost the nearly 100 pages goal of Grundrisse that I was looking to get accomplished. I’m feeling significantly more confident about how the book is reading and my overall comprehension of the text. I’m also fairly excited about the prospects of tackling Capital. This [...]
A Long Weekend, Extra Time For Reading!
With this weekend being a long weekend due to the MLK Holiday, I figured, after some of my other chores were complete, that I would definitely get some extra reading in this weekend. After this evening, that is looking more and more like the case. With the extra day off, I’m hoping to be able [...]
Evening Off, But Back To Reading & Other Thoughts
Last night, after I completed posting, I sat down on the couch to read, to come to find out that I just wanted a break from reading. That might sound silly, but it was true. In this case, with Grundrisse, it was probably wise to take said break just to clear my thoughts for an [...]
Grundrisse: Notebook IV – Keeping Focus
Yesterday, I began reading Notebook IV of Marx’s Grundrisse. Notebook IV contains Marx’s notes from Mid-December 1857 – 22 January 1858. This notebook contains the conclusion to Section I of the Chapter on Capital entitled: “The Production Process of Capital.” This section of the chapter contained plenty of mathematical examples on how production creates capital.
