I was hoping to get much more read with Karl Marx’s third volume of Capital, but other things have distracted me between family and other activities.

Phew! Finally is the first word that comes to mind as I begin writing this post. I can’t believe that I finally completed the second volume of Karl Marx’s Capital. From the get go, I must say, Capital Volume II must be one of the most difficult books I’ve ever read, and that’s including some [...]

This evening I find myself through, what seems to be the longest chapter of my Marx Reading Challenge ever, Chapter 15: Effect of Circulation Time on the Magnitude of the Capital Advanced. I say this chapter felt like the longest, even though it was just short of being 40 pages long. This particular chapter just [...]

With the Caps losing game three this evening down in Tampa, I have officially come to the realization that my favorite hockey club’s season is more than likely over. With that being said, I will now have much more time to devote to my reading and to writing more posts on the blog, which have [...]
