David Harvey tackles Marx's notebooks that have spawned wide-ranging and raging controversies

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.

With rapid increases in urban populations, there is an urgent need to transform our world's cities in keeping with ecological imperatives and democratic principles. A growing worldwide citizen movement is attempting to challenge bureaucratic administrations and replace the politics of fear with neighborhood power, direct democracy, and solidarity. They believe that threats of capitalism, totalitarianism, and climate change require imaginative political resistance rooted where they live. Combining political theory, philosophy, history, and intimate narrative, Take the City presents an expansive view of municipalist movements around the world. With over twenty contributors, including David Harvey, this anthology provides crucial insights into the challenges ahead by looking at and beyond municipal electoral politics. Stories of diverse regions and issues illuminate the nuances of municipalist movements of the past and present, providing a roadmap of the fight for our future. From Seattle to Kurdistan, Burlington to Oaxaca, Barcelona to Mississippi, and Vienna to Montreal, contributors carefully consider the intertwined questions concerning current crises in housing, the environment, democracy, and capitalism.

An investigation into farming practices throughout a period of seismic change.

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.

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.
