The radical geographer guides us through the classic text of political economy. My aim is to
get you to read a book by Karl Marx called Capital Volume 1 and to read it on Marx's own
terms... The biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression has generated a surge of
interest in Marx's work in the effort to understand the origins of our current predicament. 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 this current volume aims to
bring this depth of learning to a broader audience guiding first-time readers through a
fascinating and deeply rewarding text. A Companion to Marx's Capital offers fresh original and
sometimes critical interpretations of a book that changed the course of history and as Harvey
intimates may do so again.
