including a couple of dry runs of the material in courses taught at @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social and the People’s Forum in New York. But, as the coda on the work of Piero Sraffa illustrates, the project is ongoing, indeed never ending. The world is perpetually changing. [2/3]

His knowledge goes well beyond the generalities of commodity fetishism and capitalist exploitation of nature. Although often critical of Marx, he uses Marx to explain problems we are experiencing today, from 2008 meltdown to the return of rents and [2/3]

Slavoj Žižek: “David Harvey unites the impossible: a broad global theoretical approach to capitalism with detailed economic analyses. As every good dialectician, he knows how to recognize a general tendency in what appears as marginal accidents of economic daily life. [1/3]

Weekend read?

In honour of D Harvey’s birthday, I revisit Marx, Capital & the Madness of Economic Reason. I challenge the ‘polycrisis’ narrative, focus on capital & use a physics analogy to explain value.

Happy birthday, David Harvey! 🎉🎂
