2025 is the year I plan on reading Volumes 1-3 of Capital. I understand that Marxists.org has the Moore/Engels version, but most people seem to prefer the Fowkes translation in Penguin. Recently, there is the Reitter translation of Volume 1 that supposedly uses a later original German edition of Capital as the base than the widely beloved Fowkes translation, but I am not sure if anyone has any experience with it yet.

Which would you recommend for someone diving into Capital for the first time? I'd prefer a physical version (to take notes) but I am not too fussed if its an ebook, I'm not incapable of using a notebook or anything instead of direct annotation.

    Thank you! The David Harvey lectures are something I saw brought up quite a lot in the bit of research I've done so far, I will definitely be using them alongside my reading as a companion to it (at least for the first 3 chapters, which I've heard are the densest). Appreciate your input, comrade!
