Capital Volume III: The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole by Karl Marx

challenging informative reflective tense slow-paced

5.0

I apologize for losing faith during volume 2, but I would describe volume 3 as a "return to form" in that it is not just an excruciating series of back-to-back "m-to-c-to-v-to-p-to-m-to-r" equations as in the penultimate part. Marx gets back to the brass tacks philosophical, political, sociological, historical, and reflective side of things, perhaps even more coherently than in the first volume. Ultimately, I found the final installment worthwhile and it tied the whole experience together enough to consider revisiting the whole of the text again in the future, maybe even with fuller attention given than the first go-around as this was something of a speed-run for me. All-in-all "Das Kapital" is a thorough dismantling of the exploitations & incongruous tendencies inherent to the capitalist system & it's commonly supposed justifications.
