This page consolidates the list of posts related to Capital, volume 1, that I have been preparing as part of the draft work for the thesis. Many posts on Marx are therefore not included here - only those that were written as part of the process of working out the thesis argument.
The list of posts below is divided into those on the long series on the first chapter of Capital volume 1, and then a collection of other posts on other parts of the first volume. Note that I have not included here the thesis chapter drafts, which revise and consolidate the arguments initially sketched in these posts.
