Recognizing the contemporary relevance of Capital in the midst of the current financial crisis, Kenneth Smith has produced an essential guide to Marx's ideas, particularly on the subject of the circulation of money-capital.</p><p>This guide uniquely presents the three volumes of <em>Capital</em> in a different order of reading to that in which they were published, placing them instead in the order that Marx himself sometimes recommended as a more user-friendly way of reading. Dr Smith also argues that, for most of the twentieth century, the full development of the capitalist mode of production (CMP) has been undermined by the existence of a non-capitalist 'third world', which has caused the CMP to take on the form of what Marx called a highly developed mercantile system, rather than one characterized by an uninterrupted circuit of industrial capital of the kind he expected would develop.</p><p>While the guide can be read as a book in its own right, it also contains detailed references to Volumes I-III so that students, seminars and discussion groups can easily make connections between Dr Smith's explanations and the relevant parts of <em>Capital</em>. Both user-friendly and comprehensive, <em>Karl Marx's Capital: A Guide to Volumes I-III</em> will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students of sociology, political science, philosophy and economics, as well as to the general reader with a keen interest in Marx's Capital and its relevance to the world today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'Marx's work continues to be of unrivalled analytic significance for making sense of the trials and tribulations of the global capitalist economy. The timely publication of Ken Smith's excellent guide to Marx's "Capital" will prove to be of great value to researchers, teachers and students striving to make sense of the state we are in.' --Barry Smart, Professor of Sociology, University of Portsmouth</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Dr Kenneth Smith is the author of <em>Emile Durkheim and the Collective Consciousness of Society, a Study in Criminology</em> (Anthem Press, 2014) and <em>Perspectivism, a Contribution to the Philosophy of the Social Sciences</em> (The Bardwell Press, 2020).</p>
