I've found this two hour but very instructive lecture on how to read 'Das Kapital', by one of the world's foremost Marx interpreter professor David Harvey. After decades of experience with the text he has an unique ability to understand what exactly Marx was doing in its entirety.
He is the world's most cited academic geographer (according to Andrew Bodman, see Transactions of the IBG, 1991,1992), and the author of many books and essays that have been prominent in the development of modern geography as a discipline. His work has contributed greatly to broad social and political debate, most recently he has been credited with helping to bring back social class and Marxist methods as serious methodological tools in the critique of global capitalism, particularly in its neoliberal form.
