Changed the reading list. There is no reason whatsoever that Das Kapital would be on a "required" reading list due to two reasons: First, there is no world where that is necessary for understanding the Cap K.

Utopian and Scientific is a really good intro book. German ideology is just the basic phil anyone should know.
