Finished Part 6. Big focus on rent and how the LTV applies to land. Onto part 7 now, which from my understanding seems to be the most unfinished section of all three volumes, comprised of scattered fragments and a final addendum by Engels to attempt to wrap it all up. One has to wonder what we could have had had Marx found the time, energy, and resources to finish all 3 (let alone the 6 he planned! to a good standard

This book is so long. So much meandering.

Some truth nukes on LTV and commodities.

Finally finished Part 5. I'm pretty sure that's the longest section in all 3 volumes of Capital (292 pages). Absolute banger though. Especially the section on pre-capitalist markets and usury and how it evolved into the modern credit system of financial capitalism.
