I would recommend this for those who have read Capital volume 1 and at least pieces of 2 and 3. It’s a bit difficult and not well suited for those looking for an introduction.

I have only listened to the first three videos, but he does an excellent job relating all three volumes together as a whole; and especially for emphasizing the connection with, and difference from, Hegel.

I read and enjoyed his intro to Capital and his YouTube lectures when I was starting out. I think he’s a net positive, especially for his work on MEGA. Also his biography on Marx is good although I stopped halfway through. So definitely not a David Harvey, he knows what he’s talking about. Just takes himself a little too seriously and lost sight of the practical purpose of Marx’s work. Things started making a lot more sense when I unlearned the value-form theory stuff.

That last part is his work? I've seen people reply to him on that on Monthly Review and the replies seem to be cogent.

The value-form theory label includes several authors with a variety of opinions but hold a common emphasis on the form of value as money.

As far as I know Heinrich is more of a leader of the value-form school rather than publishing his own independent ideas about it.

Okay. I really should read Heinrich sometime.
