Spaces of Capital

<p>David Harvey is the most influential geographer of our era possessing a reputation that extends across the social sciences and humanities. <em>Spaces of Capital</em> a collection of seminal articles and new essays spanning three decades demonstrates why his work has had-and continues to have-such a major impact. The book gathers together some of Harvey's best work on two of his central concerns: the relationship between geographical thought and political power as well as the capitalist production of space. In addition he chips away at geography's pretenses of scientific neutrality and grounds spatial theory in social justice. Harvey also reflects on the work and careers of little-noticed or misrepresented figures in geography's intellectual history-Kant Von Thünen Humboldt Lattimore Hegel Heidegger Darwin Malthus Foucault and many others.</p>
