David Harvey Knihy

For three centuries the capitalist system has shaped western society, informed its rulers, and conditioned the lives of its people. Has the time come to move beyond it?Using his unrivalled knowledge of the subject, Harvey lays bare the follies of the international financial system, looking at the nature of capitalism, how it works and why sometimes it doesn't. He examines the vast flows of money that surge round the world in daily volumes well in excess of the sum of all its economies. He looks at the cycles of boom and bust in the world's housing and stock markets and shows that periodic episodes of meltdown are not only inevitable in the capitalist system but essential to its survival. The Enigma of Capital is a timely call-to-arms for the end of the capitalism, and makes a compelling case for a new social order that would allow us to live within a system that could be responsible, just and humane

“My aim is to get you to read a book by Karl Marx called Capital, Volume 1, and to read it on Marx’s own terms…”The biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression has generated a surge of interest in Marx’s work in the effort to understand the origins of our current predicament. For nearly forty years, David Harvey has written and lectured on Capital, becoming one of the world’s most foremost Marx scholars.Based on his recent lectures, this current volume aims to bring this depth of learning to a broader audience, guiding first-time readers through a fascinating and deeply rewarding text. A Companion to Marx’s Capital offers fresh, original and sometimes critical interpretations of a book that changed the course of history and, as Harvey intimates, may do so again.David Harvey’s video lecture course can be found here: davidharvey.org/reading-capital/

"The biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression shows no sign of coming to a close and Marx's work remains key in understanding the cycles that lead to recession. For nearly forty years, David Harvey has written and lectured on Capital, becoming one of the world's most foremost Marx scholars.Based on his recent lectures, and following the success of his companion to the first volume of Capital, Harvey turns his attention to Volume 2, aiming to bring his depth of learning to a broader audience, guiding first-time readers through a fascinating and hitherto neglected text. Whereas Volume 1 focuses on production, Volume 2 looks at how the circuits of capital, the buying and selling of goods, realize value.This is a must-read for everyone concerned to acquire a fuller understanding of Marx's political economy"-- Provided by publisher

Amidst waves of economic crises, health crises, class struggle and neo-fascist reaction, few possess the clarity and foresight of world-renowned theorist, David Harvey. Since the publication of his bestselling A Brief History of Neoliberalism, Harvey has been tracking the evolution of the capitalist system as well as tides of radical opposition rising against it. In The Anti-Capitalist Chronicles, Harvey introduces new ways of understanding the crisis of global capitalism and the struggles for a better world. While accounting for violence and disaster, Harvey also chronicles hope and possibility. By way of conversations about neoliberalism, capitalism, globalization, the environment, technology, social movements and crises like COVID-19, he outlines, with characteristic brilliance, how socialist alternatives are being imagined under very difficult circumstances. In understanding the economic, political and social dimensions of the crisis, Harvey’s analysis in The Anti-Capitalist Chronicles will be of strategic importance to anyone wanting to both understand and change the world.

In this new book, David Harvey seeks to determine what is meant by the term in its different contexts and to identify how accurate and useful it is as a description of contemporary experience.

Neoliberalism - the doctrine that market exchange is an ethic in itself, capable of acting as a guide for all human action - has become dominant in both thought and practice throughout much of the world since 1970 or so. Writing for a wide audience, David Harvey, author of The New Imperialism and The Condition of Postmodernity, here tells the political-economic story of where neoliberalization came from and how it proliferated on the world stage. Through critical engagement with this history, he constructs a framework, not only for analyzing the political and economic dangers that now surround us, but also for assessing the prospects for the more socially just alternatives being advocated by many oppositional movements.

Collecting David Harvey's finest work on Paris during the second empire, Paris, Capital of Modernity offers brilliant insights ranging from the birth of consumerist spectacle on the Parisian boulevards, the creative visions of Balzac, Baudelaire and Zola, and the reactionary cultural politics of the bombastic Sacre Couer. The book is heavily illustrated and includes a number drawings, portraits and cartoons by Daumier, one of the greatest political caricaturists of the nineteenth century.

People around the world are confused and concerned. Is it a sign of strength or of weakness that the US has suddenly shifted from a politics of consensus to one of coercion on the world stage? What was really at stake in the war on Iraq? Was it all about oil and, if not, what else was involved? What role has a sagging economy played in pushing the US into foreign adventurism and what difference does it make that neo-conservatives rather than neo-liberals are now in power? Whatexactly is the relationship between US militarism abroad and domestic politics?These are the questions taken up in this compelling and original book. Closely argued but clearly written, 'The New Imperialism' builds a conceptual framework to expose the underlying forces at work behind these momentous shifts in US policies and politics. The compulsions behind the projection of US power on the world as a 'new imperialism' are here, for the first time, laid bare for all to see.This new paperback edition contains an Afterword written to coincide with the result of the 2004 American presidental election.

Long before Occupy, cities were the subject of much utopian thinking. They are the centers of capital accumulation as well as of revolutionary politics, where deeper currents of social and political change rise to the surface. Do the financiers and developers control access to urban resources or do the people? Who dictates the quality and organization of daily life? Rebel Cities places the city at the heart of both capital and class struggles, looking at locations ranging from Johannesburg to Mumbai, from New York City to São Paulo. Drawing on the Paris Commune as well as Occupy Wall Street and the London Riots, Harvey asks how cities might be reorganized in more socially just and ecologically sane ways—and how they can become the focus for anti-capitalist resistance.

Fiscal crises have cascaded across much of the developing world with devastating results, from Mexico to Indonesia, Russia and Argentina. The extreme volatility in contemporary political economic fortunes seems to mock our best efforts to understand the forces that drive development in the world economy. David Harvey is the single most important geographer writing today and a leading social theorist of our age, offering a comprehensive critique of contemporary capitalism. In this fascinating book, he shows the way forward for just such an understanding, enlarging upon the key themes in his recent work: the development of neoliberalism, the spread of inequalities across the globe, and ‘space’ as a key theoretical concept. Both a major declaration of a new research programme and a concise introduction to David Harvey’s central concerns, this book will be essential reading for scholars and students across the humanities and social sciences.

Die Kluft zwischen Marx’ theoretischen und historischen Schriften wird kontrovers diskutiert. David Harvey nutzt seine These der 'Akkumulation durch Enteignung' zur Analyse des globalen Kapitalismus und führt die marxistische Methodendiskussion fort. Andere Autoren kritisieren Harveys Ansatz und bieten eigene Interpretationen von Marx’ Methodenkapitel an. Harvey wendet Marx’ Erkenntnisse auf aktuelle ökonomische Bedingungen an und thematisiert die Verallgemeinerbarkeit der 'Kapital-Methode' im Kontext des Sozialismus.

Nachdem Roman Rosdolsky in den 1950er-Jahren in der New Yorker Public Library auf den kaum bekannten Text von Karl Marx’ »Grundrissen« stieß, bezeichnete er ihn als ein grundlegendes Werk der marxistischen Theorie, das jedoch aufgrund seiner Form und Ausdrucksweise schwer zugänglich ist. David Harvey möchte mit seinem Werk diesen komplexen Text einem breiten Publikum näherbringen. Marx’ Ziel war es, die Rolle des Kapitals für die Entwicklung und das Verständnis der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft zu zeigen. Harvey respektiert Marx’ Wunsch, die Widersprüche der bürgerlichen Produktion aufzuzeigen, und verdeutlicht die Relevanz seiner Analysen für den gegenwärtigen Kapitalismus anhand vieler Beispiele. Das Buch wird als unverzichtbarer Begleiter zu den »Grundrissen« beschrieben und ist sowohl für erfahrene Leser als auch für Einsteiger hilfreich. Leser betonen, dass Harveys Erklärungen den Text erhellen und einen neuen Zugang ermöglichen. Der Inhalt umfasst eine Einleitung des Autors, verschiedene Aspekte der Geldzirkulation, der Produktion des Kapitals, die Rolle von Raum und Zeit, sowie gesellschaftliche Klassen und politische Ökonomie. Ein Anhang bietet Einblicke in Marx’ Pläne für zukünftige Arbeiten.

Zwei Grundlagentexte für die kapitalismuskritische Bewegung beleuchten die urbanen Wurzeln der Finanzkrise. Die Theoriebildung im Marxismus zeigt strukturelle Ähnlichkeiten zur bürgerlichen Ökonomie. Die Rolle des Immobilienmarktes in der Krise 2007-09 sowie die damit verbundene Arbeitslosigkeit und Sozialkürzungen bleiben unzureichend analysiert, da die Urbanisierung und Bebauung nicht in die allgemeine Theorie der Bewegungsgesetze des Kapitals integriert werden. Viele marxistische Theoretiker tendieren dazu, den Crash als Manifestation ihrer bevorzugten Krisentheorien zu interpretieren, sei es der Fall der Profitrate oder Unterkonsumtion. Die Definition der Kommunisten, wie sie von Marx und Engels im Kommunistischen Manifest beschrieben wird, umfasst alle, die aktiv an einer anderen Zukunft arbeiten, als sie der Kapitalismus bietet. Diese Sichtweise zeigt, dass der traditionelle Kommunismus weitgehend obsolet ist, während Millionen von Menschen bereit sind, den antikapitalistischen Imperativ kreativ umzusetzen. Die Bewegung für alternative Globalisierung in den späten 1990er Jahren, die verkündete, „Eine andere Welt ist möglich“, legt nahe, dass auch „Ein anderer Kommunismus möglich“ ist. Um grundlegende Veränderungen unter den heutigen Bedingungen der kapitalistischen Entwicklung zu erreichen, ist ein solcher Ansatz notwendig.

„Der Kapitalismus steht unter dem Druck, die Umschlagszeit zu senken, die Zirkulation des Kapitals zu beschleunigen und folglich den Zeithorizont der Entwicklung zu revolutionieren. Aber dies gelingt nur durch langfristige Investitionen (z. B. in die bebaute Umwelt, in ausgefeilte und stabile Infrastrukturen für Produktion, Konsumtion, Austausch, Kommunikation und Ähnliches). (.) Der Kapitalismus steht unter dem Druck, alle räumlichen Barrieren zu eliminieren, Raum durch Zeit zunichte zu machen (Marx), aber dies kann nur durch die Erzeugung eines fixen Raumes gelingen. Dadurch erzeugt der Kapitalismus eine geographische Landschaft (.), die für seine eigene Akkumulationsdynamik zu einem bestimmten Moment seiner Geschichte geeignet ist, nur um diese geographische Landschaft wieder zerstören und zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt erneut aufbauen zu müssen, um sie der Akkumulation anzupassen.“ (David Harvey)

大衛‧哈維：「這是我所寫過最危險的一本書。」 從辨識矛盾、解釋危機到發掘出路 認識當代資本主義的必讀之作 美國最具權威的馬克思研究專家──大衛‧哈維 具有清晰解讀馬克思著作的天賦、思想界的巨人 對21世紀資本主義提出尖銳批判 挑戰性更勝皮凱提！ 當代資本主義世界問題重重 根據錯誤理論的錯誤政策，使得經濟困境更加複雜難解 導致社會騷亂、更加不幸，甚至出現「反資本主義」運動 資本主義的成敗，如何影響我們？ 在現代西方社會，資本主義有如人們呼吸的空氣，一般人極少思考其好壞並提出質疑。但了解資本主義的成敗根源，對了解其長遠前景和全球經濟因此受到的巨大影響至關緊要。 傑出學者哈維透過《資本社會的17個矛盾》，檢視資本流動的內在矛盾，這些矛盾促成近年的危機。他指出，雖然這些矛盾增強了資本體制的彈性和韌性，它們當中也含有系統性災難的種子。許多矛盾是可駕馭的，但有些是致命的，例如追求無止境的複合成長，竭澤而漁地剝削大自然，以及普遍異化的傾向。 資本主義能走過一個又一個危機而蹣跚存活嗎？ 資本體制向來能夠藉由「空間方案」擴張，將以前不在其勢力範圍內的國家與人群納入其疆域中。它能否繼續擴張未有定論，但哈維在本書中認為以中期而言，答案很可能是否定的：資本主義的疆域已無法大幅擴張，近年的金融危機便是一個預兆。 哈維對全球資本體制及其不公不義的分析批判十分銳利，早已獲公認為這方面的頂尖學者。在本書中，他回到他終身努力的基礎，剖析和質疑我們的經濟體制的根本矛盾，同時揭示人類社會在後資本主義世界的可能走向。 了解資本主義的成敗根源，對長遠前景和全球經濟影響至關重要 資本的矛盾與壓力造成：全球大量人口長期失業問題、歐洲與日本經濟陷入衰退漩渦，以及中國、印度和其他金磚國家蹣跚前進的根本原因。 本書分為「根本矛盾」、「移動的矛盾」、「危險的矛盾」三部，以17個章節來討論17個矛盾，「後記」則提供17項建議，協助轉型到公平、合理且永續的社會。

This book makes available to undergraduates the author's recent writing (including a new essay on flexible accumulation and the city of spectacle) on the physical and social environment of western cities, in which he explores the links between the processes and pressures of urbanization, the culture of urban life - in effect the culture of the west - and the nature of capitalism in the post-industrial world. The collection contains three of the five essays from "Consciousness and the Urban Experience" and four of the eight from "The Urbanization of Capital". The essays embody the combination of theory, observation and interpretation most characteristic of the author's recent work, and address the needs and interests of students of urban processes in departments of geography, sociology and politics. The book is aimed at students of urbanization and urban society in departments of geography, sociology and politics.
