Jerry, in my view that is a real text book. A real text book is produced only by teachers who are deeply involved into communicate with students. Gouverneur spent a lot of time teaching the issues of the book; hence most of the material was tested by experience. As any other good text book, it is well organized: exposition, resume, etc. In adition of that, Gouverneur's book has original material for understanding or develop Marxian thinking. I will give an example of this in a next post. In short, I am sure that Understanding.. is a tool for everyone involved in teaching Marx' economics and an example for writing books for teaching.
