Best books to learn Understanding Marx, in order
Marx is layered with later interpretation, so it helps to separate his own arguments from the movements built in his name. Start with an accessible overview of historical materialism, then work through class, alienation, and the arguments of Capital with a guide, then the scholarship and critique—reading widely enough to weigh his ideas rather than adopt or dismiss them wholesale.
