Per Charles Mudede’s suggestion, I am spending the summer reading Marx’s Capital Volume One. I don’t really have anything much to say about it yet, other than that it is much easier going than I’d worried. However, I did find it interesting to look at the views for David Harvey’s recorded seminars on the book as available on YouTube—they are also available from Vimeo, blip.tv, etc. Hard to say if these are people who started reading or simply watched one or more of the classroom sessions, but the attrition is siginificant. Class 12 seems oddly popular given the prevailing trend, but I’ll have to wait a couple months to see why that might be.
