Re Jerry's [6644].

We did not have a project in mind of doing an apreciation of all 3
volumes of Capital.

I think we started with Capital II (as a theme for our symposium, ISMT)
for self-clarification. Then, when we had written the first versions of
our papers and discussed them, we thought they were interesting enough
for a book.

The same happened with Capital III after that (although we had a couple
of other symposium topics in between, e.g. on aspects of the
"continuation").

It is rather the work on Capital I, that is the first one consciously
planned for bringing out a collection.

Comradely,

Geert

--------------------------------------------

A couple of questions (for any of the
contributors to these

volumes) then:

 

1)  Why did you want to follow the
sequence of  2 - 3 - 1 rather

     than the more obvious
sequence of 1- 2 - 3?  Was the reason 

     for beginning with a
volume on 2 because V2 was "certainly ...

     the least known [of
the 3 volumes of _Capital_, JL] and has

     been least studied
over the last 50 years" (from  Arthur and 

     Reuten's "Marx's
Capital II, The Circulation of Capital: General

    
Introduction"  in Arthur and Reuten ed. _The Circulation
of

     Capital_, p. 1) or was
there some other -- or additional -- 

     reason?

 

2)  After having already published the
book on Volume 2 [_The

    Circulation of Capital_]
what was the thinking behind next

    examining and publishing a
book on Volume 3 [Campbell

    and Reuten _The Culmination
of Capital_]  rather than

    turning to Volume
1?

 

In solidarity, Jerry
