I studied the three volumes of Das Kapital and the 3 volumes of Theories of Surplus Value during my teenage years independently. They contain the most incisive analyses of capitalism ever attempted.
Marx was a brilliant economic analyst but an impoverished and naive visionary. Engels was similarly disposed.
Because of his genius in analyzing capitalism and its workings, his value judgements (that are the real subtext of the works) were taken seriously. Value judgements are like bowel movements - everyone makes them.
There's no way to study something but to read the original texts with additional resources available. Good luck.
Of course, the exact sort of info you are looking for is available via an Internet search.
