That would be amazing!

You should! I have only ever read the original German version, but Marx’ sarcasm and biting humor, which is often found in his footnotes, is pretty good literature.

Hearing that there's a little humor in "Capital" is nudging me to actually read it.

We should have a reading club for it, I would love to read it with other people.
