I share your regard for Volume 2 of _Capital_ and believe it is easily
the most neglected and misunderstood of the 3 volumes.


Comments by Joseph Halevi

Peter Kriesler and I have written a paper exacltly on the
contradictory dialectics between Volume 2 and 3. The paper was read
at the Volume 3 Centenary Conference magnificently organized last
December by Riccardo Bellofiore of the Universita' di Bergamo in Italy.

Marx was very critical of Ricardo's disregard for the issue of crisis
and he was right. Kriesler and I argue that had Volume 3 abosrbed
more from Volume 2 (most probably Volume 2 is  Engel's ranking, since
what became the third volume was ready for printing by the time the
first volume went to the publisher) then we would have had a more
complex theory of crisis combining effective demand with structural
traverses.

Kindest regards, Joseph Halevi
