Actually, Althusser suggested to skip the first section - that is, the first three chapters, and begin with chapter 4 in the English edition. Personally, I think this is wrong. Nevertheless I have suggested on this list that chapter 7 in the English edition (5 in the Italian) is to me the key chapter in Volume 1, and in the whole Capital. This I have argued in several places, including my chapter in Bellofiore-Taylor eds, The Constitution of Capital, section 3. I don't know however if this was what John had in mind. rb At 19:17 -0500 19-06-2007, John Holloway wrote: >A request for help. > >I think someone on this list (Rakesh, perhaps?) made a comment once about >Althusser advising people to start reading Capital from ch.7.
