Wheen’s work is an easy and stimulating read and despite its errors, the author has an obvious passion for Marx. In the end, however, there is no substitute for an independent study of Das Kapital. Marx uses a dialectical approach to reveal the laws of capitalism, to bring out the contradictory sides of its basic unit, the commodity. That approach goes against the grain of the black or white, formal logic that schools and universities teach. Of course, studying Das Kapital is tough going. But we are talking about the science of political economy and not Hello! magazine.
