      I think there are some possible critiques to be made of the presentation of Capital, in terms of how he orders the presentation of material. But yh it is a work of social science, political economy and philosophy of revolutionary importance, and he is emphatic that it should be a keystone of scientific socialism. And yh translation can sometimes not help, especially from German-idealism inflected German.
