Shortest Leftist analogy (it’s 500 pages +epilogue and 20 pages of footnotes)

I listened to an audio recording and found it immensely helpful to picture these "commodities" changing hands in my head

Honestly for a mid 1800s economics book written by a German dude it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be to understand.

It also helps that he repeats explanations about concepts a thousand times a hundred different ways. Though eventually you're just like "holy fuck Marx, I got it. Yes I understood the surplus value of labor like 200 pages ago"

As someone with ADHD, this was immensely helpful for me. I was able to understand concepts like surplus value and the value of labour vs. the value of labour power on my first read.

Chapter one of v1 is worst, then the most of volume 2 is boring. Rest of v1 and most of v3 is way easier and more relevant for non-economists.
