David Harvey

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"An indispensable guide to the life and work of one of the greatest Marxist intellectuals of his generation. The authors provide a far-reaching overview of Harvey's intellectual project and the way it has developed over time, which allows the reader to build a much deeper relationship with Harvey's oeuvre than that they might gain by reading a few key texts from within a specific discipline - much in the same way that Harvey's familiarity with Marx has made his Introduction to Capital the most popular accompaniment to Marx's work."

Grace Blakeley, author of Stolen: How to save the world from financialisation

"I arrived at the Johns Hopkins University in 1997. By 1999 I was co-teaching a graduate seminar with David Harvey on Gramsci and Keynes. I went in there as a recovered Marxist. I came out having recovered my Marxism. That's what Harvey will do to you."

"No living intellectual has done more to reinvigorate Marxism than David Harvey. True to its spirit, he has insisted on the unbreakable link between scientific research and political practice. Here, for the first time, we have a survey of Harvey's entire oeuvre - but not a mere summary or for-dummies: Castree, Charnock and Christophers engage critically with all the issues swirling through his work, down to the question of how to change the world. In wonderfully accessible prose, they catch a genius in motion, always attuned to the latest developments in capitalism. This will be a book to chew on, for Harvey aficionados and newcomers alike, and for everyone grappling with the unbearable contradictions of this world order."
