Idea for a neverending Das Kapital bookclub (hexbear.net)

It would take six months or a year and at the end we just start over agin, so people can jump in at any point.

What do you think? This would be in addition to once-off bookclubs.

One thing I'm unsure of is do we do Volumes 1-3, or repeat 1? Or 1-4?

I’m interested. I’m in the middle of vol 2 so I will probably be done with vol 3 before the group gets around to it… but I’d love to re-read vol 1 with you all, especially if we’re taking our time through it. The thing is, once you finish vol 1 the next thing you want to do is… reread vol 1.

And I certainly don’t claim to be an expert, but it took me a year to get though vol 1 because I really took the time to understand the concept as best I could (and I also read Harvey’s companion alongside). I would actually love to help explain some thing as I understand it to others who have questions because I think it will reinforce things for myself.
