You thought capitalism was permanent? Think again.
David Harvey unravels the contradictions at the heart of capitalism - its drive, for example, to accumulate capital beyond the means of investing it, its imperative to use the cheapest methods of production that leads to consumers with no means of consumption, and its compulsion to exploit nature to the point of extinction. These are the tensions which underpin the persistence of mass unemployment, the downward spirals of Europe and Japan, and the unstable lurches forward of China and India.
Not that the contradictions of capital are all bad: they can lead to the innovations that make capitalism resilient and, it seems, permanent. Yet appearances can deceive: while many of capital's contradictions can be managed, others will be fatal to our society. This new book is both an incisive guide to the world around us and a manifesto for change.

评分大卫哈维作为当代《资本论》最权威的研究者,试图通过总结资本社会的17个矛盾来揭开当今资本主义社会发展所存在的种种问题,可以说这些问题短期内不会动摇到资本主义的根基,但是如果不及时反思改革,难说资本主义经历这么多年的发展,矛盾一步一步扩大,进而威胁到资本体系的...
评分一本左翼经济学书的几点启示 迄今为止读过的经济学书大多是偏右翼偏自由主义的,毕竟大概百分之九十五的经济学家都是偏右的吧,当代还坚持马克思主义左翼经济学的可谓凤毛麟角,绝对算不得主流。但是长期听一个声音也未免担心自己有失偏颇,就算是为了开拓视野,也该知...
