I think I posted in your other thread, so I'll just say, dont skip the footnotes. The text is dry, intentionally so, but the flavor is in the footnotes.
I'll also add that while I went into it thinking that the book was something like "the rules of capitalism" like I would come away a better economic understanding of capitalism. While still true, the book is a work of immanent criticism, like Marx is using the rules of bourgeois economics to criticize bourgeois economics. It's not just a book full of conclusions, its a practical application of Marx's method.
I love the overview graphic! Thanks!
