You commented that there are few comments so I thought I'd comment on that comment comment. We're at chapter 3 already and although I certainly do have some notes, it feels like a whole lot of this is kind of set up. He gives descriptions of the way things are in his view, he defines terms, he comments on/critiques other people's ideas and on what phenomena ought to be considered causes and which effects. This is all good ground work, but it feels like there have been very few points yet, little in the way of argument or justification yet because he hasn't really introduced any clear theses. It's like saying 'Rain is when liquid water falls from the clouds, rain can water plants, but there are also other ways to water plants, Anaxagoras described a closed cycle of water ...' when we all know that eventually we are going to get around to arguing that damming some river would hurt some ecosystem. These are definitions, background, context, etc. And although I think there have been a few points made beyond what is also in VP&P and WL&C --and more hinted at-- they seem rather spaced out and easily overlooked as important. I think that's probably a contributing factor to why there are few comments; few arguable points, lots of background, and we aren't sure what is going to be important for later yet. So far we're just getting a view into Marx's perspective on things and trying to hold on to that perspective. So it doesn't seem like there is too much that needs to be publicly commented on or questioned. But that also could just be me. I'd certainly be interested in hearing other people's thoughts on that. And perhaps I have exaggerated to some degree the lack of new and debatable points.
What is money? The commodity that functions as the measure of value and either in it's own person or as a representitve as the medium of circulation is money.

Thanks very much indeed.
it’s great to have this all read by somebody with a lot of experience with audiobooks and knowledge on the subject
I never realized how this book gets better and better as you go.
It definitely builds
Merry Christmas if you celebrate!
