Notes
1. Chávez had been introduced to Mészáros and his work by Jorge Giordani (his thesis advisor when in prison and subsequently the long-standing economics minister). Giordani, who promoted the translation of Beyond Capital into Spanish, had been a student at Sussex where he had developed a close friendship with Mészáros. Through this unlikely set of coincidences, Beyond Capital became the bible which Chávez studied and regularly exhorted all to read.
2. See the discussion of these elements in Lebowitz Citation(2007a).
