I have yet to encounter a liberal who claims to have read Capital, probably because it requires some awareness to know of it. The manifesto though as well as Animal Farm and various Francis Fukuyama books tend to come up a lot which on further inquiry they have not actually read.

Kind of insane to think people would be aware of Fukuyama but not of Capital. He’s not super obscure, but you’d figure people who seek out his work would be aware of other major books on political science and political economy?

The individual I have in mind who insisted I read Fukuyama may well know of Capital though there are certainly many who only vaguely know of the manifesto and assume it is the quintessential tome of all communism.
