borednoodle 's review for:
An important text no doubt and I don't take issue with anything said in it, but much of this seems like common sense to anyone who's paying attention. Marx is simply too long-winded in his explanations of seemingly simple concepts and this book drags on and on as a result.
The part I found most interesting was the extensive documentation of the atrocities committed against laborers in the pursuit of capital. However limited the protections of the laboring class may be in the western world, it's important that we realize that advances HAVE been made (largely as a result of bloodshed and unionization). These advances are precarious, however, and are under constant assault by the powers that be. We must not allow these protections to be unraveled and we must unite to insist that more be implemented.
