It's definitely hard going, which is why I haven't read much of it myself. Part of that is that old Karl wanted to make his argument as convincing as he could, and that trades off against making it easy to read. They say the Grundrisse https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1857/grundrisse/ https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1857/grundrisse/ is more readable, but I haven't tried it myself. I guess I'd better, since I'm being told I'm getting some of Marx's points wrong!
