    If you ever do, then only after reading Capital vol 1 and 2, Poverty of Philosophy (ie the attack on Proudhonism) and throw in Ferrana’s Why The World Needs China so you can insulate yourself from the Pickettys of the future.

        It took me forever to read them and I still have not finished it all (and not even started vol 3). I, however, have gone through Marx’s Inferno and Frome’s condensed version on Redsails.org, which helped a lot.

        Not read “Das Kapital - kompakt” but will try to see if I can get a translation in the future.
