All: Below is a major new (1999) introduction to Marx's political economy, coming out of Hyderabad, India. The writing style is very much intended to be written for WORKERS and, from what I have read, is indeed very clear. Below are the tables of contents for the three volumes. The pricing of $35 for all three volumes cannot be beat (and they are well-done hardbacks), including air mail shipping.
