If a new machine gives an efficiency advantage over other makers of equivalent commodities - the owner of that machine reaps a financial advantage that is experienced as "generated value". But as the new machine and any efficiency in production becomes generalized we would expect that ultimately the value of that commodity would actually decrease.

I thought the 1848 manuscripts were pretty rocking when I first read them.

I always felt Marx's finished products had a kind of dull exposition, at least for large parts. I think he felt he had to lay out a system like that. But the unfinished stuff, even the Grundrisse have a lively dialectical feel that is pretty captivating.

During the more complex parts of Capital Vol 1, I sometimes read it out loud to help keep focus.

I actually just reread Vol 1 since there's a new translation and felt some of the chapters in the back half could have been skipped.

The war did raise the price of oil, and make buying Russian oil more popular - so helping his buddy Putin that way.
