I mean I don't know what I expected. It's Capital, and it's extensive and very opaque. Reading from the beginning, it's a painfully slow but precise explanation of exchange, value, and money. Then he gets into how a Capitalist is formed. Then there is some history of the English factory system, which was real bad by the way.
But then he starts talking about real value of labor, and I could not follow. Suffice it to say that, worker makes thing, thing sold for more than worker makes in wages. There, that's capitalism. At least I think it is, according to this book.
Definitely not an introductory or even intermediate read in this field. MAYBE I'll come back to it in 5 years, but maybe not.
