Synopsis "Marx, Capital, and the Madness of Economic Reason "

Karl Marx's Capital is one of the most important texts written in the modern era. Since 1867, when the first of its three volumes was published, it has had a profound effect on politics and economics in theory and practice throughout the world. But Marx wrote in the context of capitalism in the second half of the nineteenth century, and his assumptions and analysis need to be updated in order to address to the technological, economic, and industrial change that has followed Capital's initial publication. In Marx, Capital, and the Madness of Economic Reason, David Harvey not only provides a concise distillation of his famous course on Capital, but also makes the text relevant to the twenty-first century's continuing processes of globalization. This book serves as an accessible window into Harvey's unique approach to Marxism and takes readers on a riveting roller coaster ride through recent global history. It demonstrates how and why Capital remains a living, breathing documentwith an outsized influence on contemporary social thought.

David Wacław Harvey (nacido el 7 de diciembre de 1935 en Gillingham, Reino Unido) es un geógrafo marxista, teórico social y profesor distinguido cuya obra ha redefinido cómo se entiende el capitalismo, las ciudades y el espacio en las ciencias sociales. Estudió en la Universidad de Cambridge y desarrolló una carrera académica en universidades como Bristol, Johns Hopkins, Oxford y la City University of New York. Su trabajo inicial en geografía cuantitativa evolucionó hacia una crítica materialista del capitalismo, articulando conceptos como la producción del espacio, la acumulación desigual y la “compresión tiempo-espacial”. Entre sus libros más influyentes están Social Justice and the City y The Condition of Postmodernity, este último señalado como una de las obras no-ficción más relevantes del último medio siglo.

Su libro Los límites del capital (The Limits to Capital) es un tratado fundamental que expande el pensamiento de Marx al integrar las dimensiones espaciales y territoriales del capital, mostrando cómo las crisis económicas están imbricadas en la producción y reorganización del espacio. Harvey ha sido ampliamente reconocido en geografía y teoría social con distinciones como el Vautrin Lud International Geography Prize, la Medalla de Oro Anders Retzius y el Outstanding Contributor Award de la Association of American Geographers, reflejo de su impacto duradero en múltiples disciplinas.
