(For a more complete and sophisticated text covering some of the material below, you should consider the 3rd edition of Bowles, Edwards, and Roosevelt's Understanding Capitalism. You should also consider Mayo Toruno's Political Economics of Capitalism published by Atomic Dog Publishing.)
The chapters below are in pdf format and you will require the Adobe Reader. It can be downloaded here: Download Adobe Reader.

These chapters are all rough drafts and are quite imperfect. But the price is right.

1. Introduction
2. The Surplus
21. Additional Topics in Monopoly and Oligopoly Pricing
