The biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression shows no sign of coming to a close and
Marx's work remains key in understanding the cycles that lead to recession. For nearly forty
years David Harvey has written and lectured on Capital becoming one of the world's most
foremost Marx scholars. Based on his recent lectures and following the success of his
companion to the first volume of Capital Harvey turns his attention to Volume 2 aiming to
bring his depth of learning to a broader audience guiding first-time readers through a
fascinating and hitherto neglected text. Whereas Volume 1 focuses on production Volume 2 looks
at how the circuits of capital the buying and selling of goods realize value. This is a
must-read for everyone concerned to acquire a fuller understanding of Marx's political economy.
