CAPITAL: A Readable Introduction to Volume One, Red Pamphlets-1 (IMG Publications, 40p.)

First of a series of Red Pamphlets, this pamphlet is exactly what its title says: a readable introduction to the first volume of Marx's Capital. It follows the text of estates were suggested. We were asked if we would use the slogan Victory to the IRA', at the Alliance meetings, and we Capital fairly closely dealing in order with Marx's key concepts: the analysis of commodities. the constituents of Capital, Surplus Value, the Working Day. etc. It is deliberately written in a simple style so that it can readily be understood by someone with no prior knowledge of economics whatsoever. This type of pamphlet, although helpful for individual study. comes into its element when used in study groups. This text has already been used in Workers" Study Circles in West Germany. hopefully it will serve the same function here. In any case it fills a gap in the literature, providing a stepping stone for the study of Capital and encouraging comrades to begin the task of studying Capital itself.
