Karl Marxs Capital is one of the most important texts written in the modern era. Since 1867, when the first of its three volumes was published, it has had a profound effect on politics and economics in theory and practice throughout the world. But Marx wrote in the context of capitalism inthe second half of the nineteenth century, and his assumptions and analysis need to be updated in order to address to the technological, economic, and industrial change that has followed Capitals initial publication. In Marx, Capital, and the Madness of Economic Reason, David Harvey not onlyprovides a concise distillation of his famous course on Capital, but also makes the text relevant to the twenty-first centurys continuing processes of globalization. This book serves as an accessible window into Harveys unique approach to Marxism and takes readers on a riveting roller coaster ridethrough recent global history. It demonstrates how and why Capital remains a living, breathing document with an outsized influence on contemporary social thought.
