    do not start with das capital. That's like telling someone who wants to learn maths to start by reading Newton's principia

      Das Kapital is much easier to digest than Principia. I have yet to have anyone irl give up on it when I have them read it.

        I tried to read it as a first book and it was way too dense for me. It's a book that needs a primer and background knowledge of the subject first

        People have responsibilities and things going on in their life that make sifting through abtruse German philosophy a hard thing to devote the time to do. Capital is not a book I think is a helpful suggestion for a beginner
