This is written in a faux-naive tone that I found grating; one would assume that it's written as such because it's meant to be an introduction to Marx's more complex Capital, but it's not, because by the time you get to the "Epilogue" it would help to have some knowledge of Marx to know what is being put forth. And not a whole lot is being put forth. You can get the gist of it by looking at Twitter. For me it just read like a lot of theoretical wankery and a conclusion that goes, "Who knows", which is probably where you'll end up if you don't look at concrete historical examples (and this book doesn't--it's not that kind of book).

I don't want to give this a low rating because that puts me in the company of American conservatives going through the seven stages of the Red Scare or whatever. But I would suggest that everyone read Marx instead.
