>My aim is to get you to read a book by Karl 
>Marx called Capital, Volume 1, and to read it on 
>Marxs own terms  David Harvey.
>
>------------------------------
>
>A guided tour through Marxs classic text of 
>political economy  arguably the most visionary 
>and controversial book since the Bible  by the 
>esteemed radical geographer and social theorist, 
>David Harvey. A COMPANION TO MARXS CAPITAL is 
>the perfect accompaniment for students to Marxs economic writings.
>
>David Harvey has been writing and lecturing on 
>CAPITAL for nearly forty years and is one of the 
>worlds foremost and bestselling Marx scholars. 
>The book is based on his recent lectures on 
>CAPITAL and aims to bring this depth of learning 
>to a broader audience, guiding first-time 
>readers through a fascinating and deeply 
>rewarding text. The series of 13 video lectures 
>are available online at 
><http://www.davidharvey.org/>www.davidharvey.org 
>and, together with the book, make a unique 
>resource for understanding the essential but 
>often challenging CAPITAL. The book was created 
>from the lectures after a huge demand on the 
>website, which has now had over a million hits.
>
>Since the start of the financial meltdown of 
>2008 there has been a huge resurgence of 
>interest in Karl Marx. With millions now losing 
>their jobs and an approaching election defined 
>by public service cuts, CAPITAL has more 
>relevance than ever: CAPITAL reading groups are 
>multiplying and book sales continue to soar. As 
>the GUARDIAN said: Karl Marx is back, while 
>the TIMES wrote the prophet of revolutionaries 
>everywhere, the scourge of capitalism, is 
>enjoying a comeback. A COMPANION TO MARXS 
>CAPITAL offers fresh, original and sometimes 
>critical interpretations of a book that changed 
>the course of history and can, more than any 
>other, help us understand the roots of the current crisis.
