    A bit over a 100 pages into capital vol 2 now. Just like in Vol 1 he often goes into long step by step explanations instead of getting to the point, except it’s worse here, because you’re on a circulation merry-go-round. It’s not too bad though, reading it is mostly just trying to spot when he is saying something new and when he is repeating himself/overexplaining.

      The reason for the circling explanations is to help the reader understand the many dialectical relationships, in proper context.

      Reading David Harvey’s companion to capital book piece wise as I move through Capital is helping me quite a bit, that might help for your case as well.
