Saw this on a theory reading list and couldn't remember if I've ever actually read it before. Might've. It's really the bare basics of Marxism and I've gleaned all of this elsewhere if not already directly. Good reading for n00bs.

I skimmed the second pamphlet, Value Price & Profite, since much of it was a reiteration of the first, Wage-Labour and Capital. I firmly believe that anyone who is a worker, which is pretty nearly everyone, should read a little Karl Marx. You have rights too, you know, and it is important to be aware of them and to be able to protect yourself and your industry.

A sort of more simplistic precursor to the first 100 or so pages of Capital volume 1 aimed at the general worker and written for understanding. 

Overall very clear, and of course sometimes dull, but useful nonetheless.

Saw this described as basically a short, easy to digest version of the first volume of Capital. While I haven't read Capital this was certainly short and easy to digest. Now when I talk to my cool Marxist friends I feel a little more like I understand the words they're using, I'll call it a win!

really good at explaining LTOV but you can probably find a youtube video which will tell you the same thing to be honest

To anyone looking for a basic understanding of what Karl Marx was about, I’m gonna send ‘Wage-Labour and Capital’ their way. Easy and fast read which is as relevant now as it was back then.
