Finished Giovanni Arrighi’s Adam Smith In Beijing yesterday, highly recommend it to anyone who wants a better understanding of China’s current path
About halfway through Capital, Vol III, absolutely a huge improvement over Vol II
Can I just say I'm jelly? I started Long Twentieth Century but had to put it off, and I have definitely set my eyes on Vol II and III when this semester ends. Sound like great reads!
I've said before that Vol II is...difficult, to say the least
I read Vol I in like 2017 stand Marx's longer works gathered dust in my backlog for years. I finally stopped giving a fuck about bringing explicitly communist literature to work and firced myself to read the later volumes while alternating with other history books.
Arrighi's subject coverage is so all-encompassing that reading his main trilogy works actually sets me into a frenzy of frantic activity.

Next to alternate with Marx is Christopher Clark's The Roots of Rural Capitalism, a US history book. Clark is always great.
