"El problema con El Capital no es tanto lo pesada que puede resultar su lectura - que lo es -, sino el hecho de que la teoría marxista, a la luz de la realidad, y como lo demostraran varias generaciones de economistas austríacos, tales como Menger, Böhm-Bawerk y Mises, resulta un error teórico. No sólo su análisis sobre la dinámica capitalista es malo - partiendo del equívoco de una teoría del valor-trabajo que ha sido demostrada falsa -, sino que sus ideas conducen a un entendimiento pobre de lo que se vive."
"Marx's intense examination of capitalism is widely cited but infrequently read, with good reason, but detrimental results. Volume 1 contains an analysis of capitalist production that is crucial to understanding not only how the system works, but why it is able to work. Marx's analysis avoids the simplistic idealism of traditional theorists like Smith and Riccardo, or more recently Milton Friedman, which obfuscates, among other things, the differences between money, capital and profit. Marx, however, was unable to grasp the economy of language, and his work is formidable. Result: His theory is reduced to excerpts, his insight is squandered, and the true nature of capitalism remains elusive to all but those who benefit most from its illusion."
"This is an amazing book that a lot more people should be reading and talking about. That the true source of all wealth is the exploitation of living labor, and that capitalism is an inherently crisis ridden economic system, are two of its many truths that have yet to see the colors collective awareness. It's too bad so many people have bought into the ridiculous notion that "communism didn't work." If that's the reason you never read Marx, then it may be the cause of your death. Marx's writing is riotously mindful, sensitive, and funny. His footnotes alone make this book far more enjoyable than any blockbuster film I have ever seen."
"it is hard to say you "like" capital, but it is quite amazing how marx reveals the workings of the system. the book is tedious and burdening, but structural and profoundly informative, and obviously revolutionary. the pitfalls of capitalism seem irredeemable."
