Description
This volume in the Live Theory series is a clear and comprehensive introduction to the complete works of David Harvey, the most influential contemporary geographical theorist. As an aid to student learning, the book is organized historically, reviewing and analyzing all Harvey's seminal books, from Explanation in Geography to The Capital of Modernity, as well as his most significant journal articles. The key themes in Harvey's oeuvre are discussed - from the methodology of dialectics to his contributions in the analysis of money, rent, and culture - and the questions raised by this study are addressed directly to Harvey through a final, original interview. David Harvey: Live Theory will be an invaluable guide to one of the world's most important theorists of space, capitalism and postmodernity.
