My Reading List

[Nikolay]

Here's my reading list, which I am going to start reading shortly.

The German Ideology
The Poverty of Philosophy
The Principles of Communism
Wage Labour & Capital
Wages
True Socialism
The Communist Manifesto
Contribution to Critique of Political Economy
SOCIALISM: UTOPIAN AND SCIENTIFIC
The Dialectics of Nature
What is Marxism?

Now, after I'm done these, I am going to move onto Das Kapital, which I am going to buy off of Amazon Canada. If you can find me a cheaper online bookstore than that'd be greatly appreciated.

Some of these I've already read, but I feel I should read them again.

Any other recommendations are welcomed.

Wish me luck!

Good luck with your reading list! What books have you already read so far?

[Jimmie Higgins]

I'd read an overview of Marx's economics before reading "Capital" only because the first part is the hardest because it is abstract and you will feel like you are reading a textbook, rather than a revolutionary work... once you get past that though, the history stuff is great. (Some people grasp econ easier, but for me it's tough whereas history is easy).

As for recommendations: is there a particular aspect of radical thought that you would like to read up on?

Edit: Oh, and good luck by the way! It's a good list, but if you are doing it by yourself, I'd recommend that you take a flexible approach and follow your interests... one book will likely lead to another when you hit on interesting questions and so on.

The thing I really want to read soon (after these books) is a detailed description of what a Communist society would look like, but in a Marxist perspective.

EDIT: I'd also like to learn what dictatorship of the proletariat means. I am a little bit confused when it comes to that.

Check out Value, Price, and Profit.

Oops, I thought I added that to my list. Guess not (I'll add it).

Thanks for bringing that up.
