review 1: If you don't want to go through the altogether dreary and taxing task of reading 1000+ pages of Karl Marx all by yourself, then read this book in conjunction with Marx's Capital Vol. 1. If one switches from Marx to Harvey, Marx to Harvey, until both books are finished, then I think that person will develop a deeper appreciation for Harvey's brilliant pedagogical approach at explicating Marx's Capital. Why can't I have a professor like him?
review 2: You should read Marx's Capital--it's easier, funnier, and smarter than you think it will be, and you can gloss over some of the hard parts the first time through and still get the jist. Harvey's companion is another route to go--its based on his youtube-able lecture series, and it works hard to explain some of Marx... more's more arcane arguments, point out areas where he's unclear or incorrect, and tells you which parts you can skim if you just want to understand the arguments. Harvey's tone is conversational, and he gives pretty fair time to some of the vociferous debates in Marxist theory. less
