  1. Simon Clarke has a very interesting guide on his site (http://homepages.warwick.ac.uk/~syrbe/). His reading is inspired by Rubin. Cleaver's Reading Capital Politically is not a study guide. MC

  2. Ben Fine & Alfredo Saad-Filho have a guide called "Marx's 'Capital'". Pluto Press published the fifth edition in 2010.
