I suppose the personal challenge to the intellectually curious is to read something they think they know they will disagree with. Am I up to the challenge? I will put Karl Marx's - "Das Kapital" on my reading list. I did read his "Communist Manifesto", I was already a capitalist through and through, I was unimpressed with his work and felt his arguments lacked logic in some cases. Perhaps, some things were lost in translation.
