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 but neglected text. Whereas Volume 1 focuses on production, Volume 2 looks at how the circuits of capital, the buying and selling of goods, and realizing value.

“David Harvey provoked a revolution in his field and has inspired a generation of radical intellectuals.”–Naomi Klein

“A consistently intelligent voice of the left.”–Edwin Heathcote, Financial Times

David Harvey teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and is the author of many books, including Rebel Cities; Social Justice and the City; The Condition of Postmodernity; The Limits to Capital; A Brief History of Neoliberalism; and Spaces of Global Capitalism.
