Karl Marx, Weirder Than Ever
Briefly

Marx's 'Capital' was initially met with indifference, alarming both its author and his friend Engels, who endeavored to generate interest through combative reviews in the media.
Marx's work, spanning decades of meticulous notes and drafts, argues that capitalism is inherently self-destructive while laying the groundwork for a superior economic system.
Jenny Marx lamented the public's lack of interest, stating that if workers understood the sacrifices made for 'Capital', they would show more appreciation for the work.
The latest English edition of 'Capital' is notable for its erudite critical apparatus, prompting deeper consideration of Marx's philosophical arguments, while noticeably omitting Darwin and progress.
