		<description><![CDATA[Marx makes significant edits to Capital between the first German edition in 1867 and the second in 1873 &#8211; edits that begin to be articulated in his revisions for the serialised French publication of Capital between 1872 and 1875.  Revisions are particularly heavy in Capital&#8217;s opening chapter &#8211; where the concept of the fetish [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay.  Labour power.  Inversion.  How does this inversion retroject itself onto the opening passages of Capital, transforming our understanding of what we thought we knew at that moment in the text?  Just as important:  how does what was already said at that early point in the text, interact with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some time around now, something resembling the talk below the fold is being presented here.
What is commodity fetishism?  In the famous passage from the first chapter of Capital, volume 1 (1976), Marx cryptically defines it as:
the definite social relation between men themselves which assumes here, for them, the fantastic form of a relation between [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Completely exhausted at the moment &#8211; just tossing some quick and probably very ill-thought notes onto the blog for future development.  I keep meaning to say something about the curious way that Marx often uses simple mathematical relations to talk about value in the first volume of Capital.  What interests me specifically is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The entire long series on the first chapter of Capital, volume 1, was written as an exercise in unpacking Marx&#8217;s argument about commodity fetishism.  En route, the series has done much more than that &#8211; but it has also done a bit less.  Among other things, I&#8217;ve never gotten around to detailed textual [...]]]></description>
