My laptop is fucked so I can’t even format this in the usual way or encourage your brain-switches with a progress bar.

Explain the bookclub: We are reading Volumes 1, 2, and 3 in one year and discussing it in weekly threads. (Volume IV, often published under the title Theories of Surplus Value, will not be included in this particular reading club, but comrades are encouraged to do other solo and collaborative reading.) This bookclub will repeat yearly. The three volumes in a year works out to about 6½ pages a day for a year, 46⅔ pages a week.

I’ll post the readings at the start of each week and @mention anybody interested. Let me know if you want to be added or removed.

Just joining us? You can use the archives below to help you reading up to where the group is. There is another reading group on a different schedule at https://lemmygrad.ml/c/genzhou (federated at [email protected] ) which may fit your schedule better. The idea is for the bookclub to repeat annually, so there’s always next year.

Archives: Week 1 – Week 2 – Week 3 – Week 4 – Week 5 – Week 6 – Week 7 – Week 8 – Week 9 – Week 10 – Week 11 – Week 12 – Week 13 – Week 14 – Week 15 – Week 16 – Week 17 – Week 18

Week 19, May 6-12, From Vol. 2, we are reading all of Chapter 1, ‘The Circuit of Money-Capital’, plus just the first part (‘Simple Reproduction’) of Chapter 2

In other words, aim to reach the heading ‘Accumulation and Reproduction on an Extended Scale’ by Sunday.

Sorry this lacks the usual links and polish: I have tech problems and little time to solve them
