I'm trying to get blog content out of every book I finish. However Capital is kinda too big and unfocused to distill into a blog post, at least by someone who's lazy and a bad writer. So instead I'm gonna write down

The Questions I Have After Reading Capital 1

On Value

What exactly is the role of value in Ricardian political economy? Where does Marx diverge from Ricardo on value? Is he upholding value or problematizing it? Should we care about value numerically or could we replace discussions of value with discussions of universal commensurability as a social form (I think this is value-form theory)? How does this all end up relating to the modern marginal utility concept?

On Critique

What exactly is Hegel's method of immanent critique (Claude tells me that term actually comes from the Young Hegelians but the question still applies) and what do you read into this work if you are familiar with Hegel? Is the critique of political economy engaging with Ricardian political economy well? What would immanent critique of modern bourgeois economics look like? What is the relationship between Marx's revolutionary and humanist project and the critique of political economy?

On History

How has Marx's specific explanation of primitive accumulation fared and where has this line of research gone?
