Please study carefully the four historical chapters on "Primitive Accumulation" from Karl Marx's monumental work Capital. You can go to them here. (NOTE: This is a PDF file. Right-click on this link to download the file; a left click will open it in your browser.)
Now that you have studied these chapters, as well as Chapters One and Two of MHH, you will notice many similarities not only in the factual or historical matter discussed in them both, but in analysis.
Please write a thoughtful essay of 300 words on the similarities in analysis between the first two chapters of MHH and Marx's discussion of "primitive accumulation."
Finally, how would you best characterize the difference between Marx's, and Linebaugh and Rediker's, analyses?
Email to your group, and to me. Bring both texts, the Marx and MHH, to class with you.
