"Además de lo ya criticado del tomo primero, que parte del equívoco de suponer que el valor viene determinado por el tiemp de trabajo, cuando históricamente se ha probado que éste es subjetivo, el segundo tomo de El Capital es un conjunto de páginas desordenadas, con una pobre estructua e importantes lagunas teóricas. De hecho, sus consideraciones sobre los esquemas de reproducción es bastante pobre, aún para otros economistas marxistas, como Rosa Luxemburgo. No por nada fue un texto incompleto que Engels tuvo que publicar tras la muerte de Marx."
"The second volume of Marx's dialectical evisceration of capitalism further clarifies the important difference between profit and capital, through an examination of the methods by which capital circulates. While Marx presents the methods themselves through a series of clear equations, his argument once again proves difficult to fully comprehend in parts, as otherwise clear examples are over-explained. Still, this should not deter a dedicated reader from pushing through. The reward, despite the intricacies, is a clear-cut case against arguments which hold that to increase taxation on corporate wealth is to invite a decrease in productivity and employment: arguments which fail decisively once the difference between profit and capital is revealed and understood."
"Excruciatingly tedious and boring at times, it doesn't compare to the brilliant first and third volumes. Essential to understanding Marx, but not a fun read."
