Hadas Thier: A People's Guide to Capitalism (Hardcover, 2020, Haymarket Books) 4 stars

A good introduction

4 stars

I thought this book was a good introduction to Marxist economics with a focus on the Great Recession as a source for examples. I'm pretty new to socialist capital T Theory and having bounced off of Capital a couple of times, was looking for something a littler more straight forward. This fit the bill nicely. I'm sure that people already intimately familiar with Marx's work will find this pretty simplistic (and it probably is) but even for them, the focus on modern examples could be interesting.
