In this book Geert Reuten presents 21 of his previously published essays on the three volumes Marx’s Capital , dating from 1991–2019. The essays largely take the form of a summary of Marx’s text (a Volume or its Parts or Chapters) followed by an appreciation and (when required) a reconstruction. The book thus offers an overview of each of the three volumes of Capital , including their interconnection, as well as a focus on specific Parts of Capital . Throughout the general overviews and more focused analyses, Reuten emphasises Marx’s systematic-dialectical method and his monetary value-form analysis.
