I’m recommitting myself to reading The Big One. I’ve known a number of comrades who had companion guide books to the works of Marx and Engels, to help interpret and contextualize their body of works. Have any of you read such a book that can help me navigate these essays?

I used David Harvey’s companion to capital while I was reading the first volume. I also took notes on each chapter as I read it. You can get my notes online here as well.

The Heinrich one is good and is balanced by reading Michael Roberts afterwards
