On the Reproduction of Capitalism: Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses by Louis Althusser
junyan's review against another edition
4.0
4.5/5 总体上很有启发，但有个细节不太满意。阿尔都塞将对劳动力的再生产的分析止步于工资 aka人工资本，止步于恢复劳动者的劳动力所必不可少的部分，那么再进一步，劳动力的来源是劳动者，劳动者的来源是…？政治经济学的思想大家们不约而同地把讨论止步于此，是根本没有意识到劳动者来源还是为了维护某些结构性规则而集体缄默？

The essay was written in 1969, and a lot of what rings true in it also seems obvious - but this is coming from someone who studied philosophy in college. I found the first half excessively long, and his claims to doing science annoying (and futile). However, half way through things pick up and it becomes pleasant to read. All in all, I'm glad I did.

The question now is how to rate and review something like this. I can't say that I liked it, but at times I loved it. The overall thesis was a bit troubling, but there are an awful lot of points where he's not wrong.
His criticism of capitalism is everything it should be: insightful and true. I just don't buy communism as the best alternative.
It's incredibly dense in places, but considering the scope it's covering it's actually very accessible. It's even funny in places! There are times when Althusser is sarcastic or witty, and I was not expecting that.
Basically if you want to know more about communism and Marxism, or just want a good critique on capitalism, this is actually very readable.
