Today is a big day for me because I just uploaded my collection of Annotations to Marx's Economic Writings in a new format. The collection itself consists of 13 pdf files (which have many links between them). The main file, the Annotations to volume 1 of Capital, has the name akmc.pdf and is about 5 MB. It reproduces selected chapters of Capital I in English and German side by side, interspersed with detailed comments which try to explain every step in Marx's argument. The collection also contains a brief file overview.pdf which explains the contents of the other files, gives links to them, and highlights the main points that are new in these files. An important addition to the collection is a file named glossary.pdf, which investigates the meanings under which Marx used several important terms, scheinen, erscheinen, ausdruecken, darstellen, etc. I hope that the work that is going into this glossary will eventually help produce better translations of Marx's works. The home page for this collection is http://www.econ.utah.edu/ehrbar/akmc.htm This collection is available in three different formats: formatted for screen reading (the recommended format), on DIN A4, or on US letter page sized pages. The recommended format is that for screen reading, which resides in the zip file http://www.econ.utah.edu/ehrbar/screen.zip It is about 15 MB. I would be especially interested in hearing what the members of OPE-L have to say about it. I feel a special responsibility now that I discovered that the wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Kapital has a link to the home page for my collection. Please give my your frank feedback to my efforts to understand Marx better. Hans. By the way, regarding the ongoing discussion about a web page, if someone wanted to do the work I would gladly offer a Debian Linux web server to host any web page you may want to build. I have three Debian Linux boxes in my office, which I have full control over, and which have an excellent connection to the internet. -- Hans G.
