Working my way through theory and wondering if Kapital is worth what seems to be a monumental effort. I kind of just look at it now like, "I already agree ideologically, and a complex economic argument will probably be lost on me."
So is there an upside to reading (at least parts of) the text that I'm missing out on?
I found it transformational to my thinking, and worthwhile to read. But it's definitely Homework, and you should expect to re-read a couple of sections and really think through the examples. You can definitely skip around a bit, as it is necessarily longwinded because it's a foundational text.
