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! 🎉🎂

Joan Robinson pointed out that the economist’s production function (where Q the output is a function of labor and capital), lacks a satisfactory understanding of the units in which capital can be measured. [1/4]

This piece was a truly pleasurable read.
Its publication coincides fortuitously with a paper a friend and I recently published in ROPE, in which we seek to encourage economists to read more on Critical Geography.

The odd thing is that quite a few Marxist economists, led by Steedman's book on Marx after Sraffa, were the only ones to take Sraffa seriously as totally undermining their key concepts (e.g. the role of Marx’s labor theory of value). [1/3]

I remember Harvey mentioning the name Sraffa several times as he taught us grad students Capital Vol 1 (and then parts of 2, 3) at Hopkins in the 1990s and I felt as though that name was preoccupying him, piercing him — but I had no idea of the history of that preoccupation that is laid out here
The anecdote at the beginning of this is so insane, I am losing my mind. This is some truly impeccable lore about David Harvey.
