Summary Annotation <p>Marx&acirc;&#128;&#153;s <em>Capital </em>has of course been widely read; this revival of a systematic study by Geoffrey Pilling, originally published in 1980, argues powerfully that, in order to understand <em>Capital </em>fully, it is necessary to have read and understood Hegel&acirc;&#128;&#153;s <em>Logic</em>. This argument leads to a detailed examination of the opening chapters of Capital, and a re-examination of their significance for the work as a whole.</p><p></p><p>Pilling emphasizes the fundamental nature of the break between Marx&acirc;&#128;&#153;s <em>Capital </em>and all forms of classical political economy, and stresses the revolutionary nature of Marx&acirc;&#128;&#153;s critique of political economy as one of the foundations of <em>Capital</em>. He also lays particular emphasis on the philosophical aspects of the work, so often neglected by British commentators, and puts forward the view that Marx&acirc;&#128;&#153;s notion of fetishism, often looked upon as incidental to his work, is in fact central to his entire critique of political economy.</p>
