Definitely! They have different views on certain interpretations and highlight different parts of the text. As for the Harvey stuff, there are two classes online. If you want to pick one I’d advise going for the most recent one. I try to do both as even there different parts of the text get highlighted. Good for you for getting into it! They all have introduction episodes that are supposed to set you up for starting.
If you ever feel like you’re struggling with an idea, or just want to bounce some thoughts off of someone, you are very welcome to DM me!
Nice, thanks so much! Was a bit unsure because I’d seen some people criticising Havrey for minsunderstanding parts of Capital, but his lectures look super helpful. Guess the best thing to do is to get a couple of interpretations from multiple places like youve done. Keen to dive in!
I mean, you'll find criticism of everyone. No one knows what interpretation is "the correct one" and frankly, thinking like that doesn't seem very Marxist to me. I've seen someone on here call Harvey a radlib for pointing out the contradiction that if capitalism would fall today, that would mean the global supply chain would break down and millions would die of starvation. I find that kind of vampire castle attitude very distasteful. You can't tell me Harvey misunderstood. He gave this class every year since like 1970. You can argue about the way he sees things. Sure. I mean, I don't always agree with what he says, but that is all together a different story. So yeah, dive in! See if you jive with what he says. If not, that will also help make clear in your head what your own position is and why. It's win-win!
