Chapter 3: Money, or the Circulation of Commodities. Discuss!

The lecture is here, the wiki is here.

Sorry I'm a day late, as I said in an earlier post, I'm travelling this weekend. If you don't have any questions or anything you'd like to discuss, it would be nice if you at least post a small reaction to the chapter.

How can we get more people to discuss?

There were very few people discussing the first couple of chapters last week. Perhaps it was naive of me to expect everyone to participate. Does anyone have any ideas for getting more people to discuss?

Also, I'll be travelling this weekend, so I need someone to volunteer to start the discussion.

Class 2: Chapters 1 and 2. Commodities and Exchange. Discuss!

Harvey's lecture. Ask questions to the group, give your opinions, start discussions. I won't be able to participate this weekend because I don't have internet, but I hope you all have interesting discussions!

Some helpful videos

http://kapitalism101.wordpress.com/

All the videos labeled "Econ 101" are about concepts in Capital Vol. 1. I watched these before reading capital and I can't imagine how lost I would have been without this background knowledge. Ignore the "Law of value" series if you are a beginner. It's really good but relates to Vol. 1 in a very round-about way. I'd recommend reading capital before getting into that.

Real time?

What do people think of a scheduled time for a real time chat as well to discussion parts of Capital?

It can make some things easier (and others harder...) than a comment based format like Reddit.

Nebula42 suggested that we find some way to take notes together, possibly through a google doc. Any other suggestions?
