Reading Capital by Louis Althusser et al (Structuralism/Marxism/Economics)

“Reading Capital" is a 1965 book by Louis Althusser, Étienne Balibar, and others, offering a structuralist interpretation of Karl Marx's "Das Kapital". It's a foundational text in structuralist Marxism, aiming to cleanse Marx's work of Hegelian and humanist influences and recast it on a scientific basis. The book is a product of seminars held at the École Normale Supérieure, where Althusser and his students analyzed "Das Kapital".

"Reading Capital" is considered a landmark in French thought and radical theory, transforming the understanding of Marxism and influencing subsequent philosophical and social theory.
