Capital isn't even particularly difficult. It's repetitive to a fault really. He repeats the concept of the Labor Theory of Value until you're good and damn tired of it, then it becomes a history lesson on working conditions in late 19th century Britain.

It has been said that a recurring issue in works written by philosophers is that they tend to repeat their ideas often. This is to say that philosophers' writings frequently return to previously-discussed concepts and rephrase them. To use the German, philosophers often employ what is known as Wiederholung, essentially meaning "doing the same thing again".
