"Harvey is a scholarly radical; his writing is free of journalistic cliches, full of facts and carefully thought-through ideas." Richard Sennett "Navigating effortlessly between history, economics, geography and politics, with persuasive argument and lucid prose, David Harvey places today's headlines in context and makes sense of the early twenty-first-century maelstrom we're all caught up in." Susan George "A magisterial work." Fredric Jameson" "Written in the same thought-provoking but still composed style that characterises Harvey's previous works, this book offers invaluable insights and assistance for everybody interested in unravelling the contradictions of the current crisis following the methods set out by Marx some 150 years ago." Socialist Review
