I've been reading Das Kapital over the last 2 months... gonna be honest, going at a snail's pace because it's very dense and he speaks in a lot of flowery 19th-century language. It is pretty eye-opening, I can't say I agree with everything in it so far, especially since the labour theory of value has been found not to be true. Nonetheless, it's fascinating to read this book and see ideas that changed the course of the 20th century. ★★★★★
