Dear Riccardo,
Â
I do not have the copy of Capital with me. Therefore, I am relying on my memory. I think it is in the preface to the first German edition. If not there, then, it is in the afterword to the second German edition.

When did he said that? I mean, was he talking of the first (where he provided the appendix) or of the second edition?

Marx suggests skiping the first chapter, too, if it is difficult to understand. But he does not say we can put it aside. I think it is the key chapter to understand Capital.

In his 'Preface to CAPITAL Volume One', Louis
Althusser wrote: "put the whole of part one aside ...
and begin your reading with part two: 'The
Transformation of Money into Capital."

On this also see mine: 'A Critique of Part One of
CAPITAL Volume One: The Value Controversy Revisited',
RESEARCH IN POLITICAL ECONOMY vol. 15, pp. 195-222.
Cheers, ajit sinha
