Why read it?
1 author picked The New Dialectic and Marx's Capital as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

His basic thesis is that the dialectic in question does not refer to a succession of social systems, but to the systematic development of categories, i.e of conceptualizing the relations that characterize the capitalist mode of production.
Thus, value, money, and capital are categories that decipher the interconnectedness of social relations in capitalism.
From John's list on Marxian economic theory.
