Now that I have recovered from my big trip west and have
finished doing the family taxes, it is time to prepare for Lecture Four. As I indicated at the end of Lecture Three, I
must confront the conundrum of Capital
Volume I, and more particularly the mystifying opening chapters. Why did Marx write that way? Quite naturally, I shall start with the
famous opening sentence of Pride and
Prejudice. This will lead me to a
story about the Cub Scouts, followed by reflections on the Altar and the
Throne. Then, as you might anticipate, I
shall pay an imaginary visit to my local supermarket, all of which will enable me to
explicate the opening two sentences of Chapter One of Volume I of Capital.
Everyone ready?
