Yeah other socialist theoreticians fumbled over idealism and several other issues, Marx literally wrote volumes about it (Theories of Surplus Value plus a lot in his other works, he was incredibly well versed in history of economic thought).
Yep! I'm working my way through volume 2 of Capital right now, getting into turnover time, and Marx is about to start discussing Smith and the physiocrats.
Volume 2 is the most dry one, it's nearly entirely about capital circulation.
I know ๐ซ volume 1 had fun metaphors and worked in examples, plus you could really feel Marx's anger. It's a much more engaging work. That being said, volume 2 has been very eye-opening so far, just like volume 1 was, so I'm sticking with it. Should be done with volume 3 early next year at the pace I'm at.
