Law professors reading Marx

A nice note from a law professor elsewhere:

I wanted to pass on a note thanking you for your marvelous book with Jaime Edwards on Marx. The explanation of ideas is lucid and exactly what this non-expert needed as a clear and comprehensive introduction. Like many, I have read at one time the Manifesto and bits of Capital before. But I've never had a fully satisfying explainer, and this is it. The examples also are extremely helpful in understanding things (and some were genuinely funny, like the proto-Cheetahs!). I'm planning to assign portions to my students for appropriate classes.
