Would you recommend "The Meaning of Marxism" by Paul D'Amato?

[brendanmcooney]

I've not read it. have you?

[4real1975]

are u currently reading some antonio negri's books?

[brendanmcooney]

I've not read Negri yet. The current books I am reading are I.I Rubin "Essays in Marx's Theory of Value", "Studies in Mutualist Political Economy" by Kevin Carson and Volume 3 of Das Kapital.

Hey B, I just checked out "Capital" from the library at my school, and it seems to be a difficult read(this coming from an avid reader and a student) For example,

Dialectical materialism.

When I looked up the definition, it was defined as disagreeing on something but still having some same goals or truths in common. It still doesnt make sense in the context of how it is used in the book. I'll continue on though.

[brendanmcooney]

Yeah.. that's not a helpful definition. Dialectical materialism is a mode of inquiry developed by marx which he inherited and adapted from Hegel. One day when I understand it more clearly I will make a video on it. I used to have a video but I took it down because I thought it was inadequate.

If you're reading Kapital for the first time I highly recommend David Harvey's online lectures.

[antelope65]

Also, the Harvey lectures are great, but there's the choice of buying his "Companion to Marx's Capital", which is basically the lectures written up.

[antelope65]

Agree on the Mandel as an accessible intro. to Marxist economic theory. Worth pointing out that the Penguin edition of Capital Vol. One has a long intro by Mandel that may help ease first-time readers into this difficult book.

[MetaCraken]

I read 'Marx for Beginners' by Rius! It's a lovely and helpful little book!

[Socialismisdemocracy]

Thanks for all your videos!

Keep up the good work!

[4real1975]

Fernand braudel and arrighi have some of the most amazing books on history of capitalism. emmanuelle wallerstein.. keep going man you are doing great!!
