Reading Capital
Reading Capital by Louis Althusser, Etienne Balibar, Roger Establet

Establishing a rigorous program of “symptomatic reading†that cuts through the silences and lacunae of Capital to reveal its philosophical core, Louis Althusser interprets Marx’s structural analysis of production as a revolutionary breakâ€â€the basis of a completely new science.
