Is there going to be a Capital reading group for 2025 like there was for 2024?
Is there going to be a Capital reading group for 2025 like there was for 2024?
I had seen some movement to hopefully do it again but haven't seen anything on when or if it will happen. Wanting to know if I should just start reading on my own or hold out and wait for the reading group, which would be my preference.

using the first new English translation in fifty years I hope!
I have been trying to find firm consensus on if it's missing anything critical or has made any weird translations, and have been unable to find anything, so for now it's Fowkes for me.
haven't listened to this yet myself, but this podcast might help to evaluate Reitter as a translator:
Paul Reitter, a Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Ohio State University, discusses his recent translation of Volume 1 of Karl Marx’s Capital with host David Staley. Reitter discusses the nuances and challenges of translating Marx’s work, the intricacies of Marx’s theories on value and capitalism, and how Reitter’s translation aims to preserve Marx’s original meaning and literary style. Staley and Reitter also cover the broader implications and significance of translation studies, the historical undervaluation of translation in academia, and Reitter’s future projects on translating the remaining volumes of Capital.

Yep, I've been digging into the interviews, but I'd prefer if someone who has read, say, Fowkes as well as Reitter would give their thoughts on it.
