After "Capital" had appeared in 1867, his friend Ludwig Kugelmann asked
Marx, how his wife should read "Capital". Marx answered in a letter from
November 30, 1867  Kugelmann may recommend to his wife  to read at first
the section about the "working day", then about "Cooperation, division
of labour and machinery" and finally the section about "primitive
accumulation".

Hi Michael H:

If his advice to "the French public" was that "there is no royal road to
science"  why would he recommend that she begin by reading the section on
the working day?  Did he have a low opinion of her analytical abilitites?

In solidarity, Jerry
