“This expert guide to the political economy of Marx’s Capital has always been the very best available. . . . It is thoroughly recommended not only for beginners but to anyone interested in the applicability of Marxian theory to the parlous condition of contemporary capitalism.”
— David Harvey, author of Seventeen Contradictions
"Saad-Filho and Fine have an excellent track record of interpreting Marx in a clear and non-dogmatic style. That this book is in its sixth edition is testimony to its quality. Rather than provide a cookbook that contains multiple examples of what Marx says, Marx's 'Capital' pays close attention to explaining Marx's method, making his work much more understandable and much more valuable. This approach makes the subject far more enjoyable to read than a collection of statements of what Marx really meant. The contextual analysis makes Marx far more easy to read and better to appreciate once a reader sees how Marx built his work up in an effort to clearly understand how the world around him was developing. In short, this book is highly recommended for librarians and for readers in general."
