This book provides a comprehensive guide to all three volumes of Karl
Marx’s ‘Capital’, with advice on further reading and points for
further discussion. Recognizing the contemporary relevance of
‘Capital’ in the midst of the current financial crisis, Kenneth
Smith has produced an essential guide to Marx’s ideas, particularly
on the subject of the circulation of money-capital. This guide
uniquely presents the three volumes of ‘Capital’ in a different
order of reading to that in which they were published, placing them
instead in the order that Marx himself sometimes recommended as a more
user-friendly way of reading. Dr Smith also argues that for most of
the twentieth century, the full development of the capitalist mode of
production (CMP) has been undermined by the existence of a
non-capitalist ‘third world’, which has caused the CMP to take on
the form of what Marx called a highly developed mercantile system,
rather than one characterized by an uninterrupted circuit of
industrial capital of the kind he expected would develop. While the
guide can be read as a book in its own right, it also contains
detailed references to Volumes I–III so that students, seminars and
discussion groups can easily make connections between Smith’s
explanations and the relevant parts of ‘Capital’.
