From Verso Books:
“For fifty years David Harvey has written and lectured on Capital, becoming one of the world’s foremost Marx scholars. In addition, his work on the history and geography of capitalist development has transformed our understanding of neoliberalism and the spread of inequalities across the globe.
In this in-depth interview with Verso, Harvey recalls the formation of his Marxist ideas, intellectual influences, and writing. He also talks about the growth of the populist right and how that is connected to geographical electoral splits, Marx’s Grundrisse (which he has written a companion to), and Marx’s theories more broadly.
In this shorter video, taken from the above, Harvey talks about Marx’s Grundrisse (and why the Covid lockdown meant he finally wrote a companion to Marx’s infamous notebooks):
He is interviewed in both these videos by Sebastian Budgen, Editorial Director, Verso Books.
David Harvey’s Companion to Marx’s Grundrisse, published earlier this year, builds upon his widely acclaimed companions to the first and second volumes of Capital. See all our Essential David Harvey reading here!”

“This conference is broadcast in its original version (English + French).
This conference is the second organized by the geography department of the Institut La Boétie, as part of its chairs, on the occasion of the exceptional visit of David Harvey to France.
David Harvey is a British geographer. He is the founder of critical geography and at the origin of the first spatial reading of Marxist theory. Today, the most cited geographer in the world, he is a reference for several generations of intellectuals around the world.
After having presented in a first conference on April 8, 2023 his theory on the geography of capital, he will dialogue with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, co-president of the Institut La Boétie and former candidate for the presidential election.
In this exceptional and unprecedented exchange, theoretical critical thought and transformative political action will mingle. The two will discuss together many subjects such as their conceptions of the city, the crisis of neoliberalism, the place of the State, the state of the left and social movements in Europe and in the world…”

“This conference is the first of a series of two events organized by the geography department of the Institut La Boétie, as part of its chairs, on the occasion of the exceptional visit of David Harvey to France.
David Harvey is a British geographer. He is the founder of critical geography and at the origin of the first spatial reading of Marxist theory. Today, the most cited geographer in the world, he is a reference for several generations of intellectuals around the world.
In this conference dedicated to the geography of capital, David Harvey will present the main elements he has been developing for more than forty years on the production of space by capitalism. This presentation may lead him to come back to different urban processes, to the relations between center and peripheries, or even to imperialism.”

Banks have taken a backseat since the global financial crisis over a decade ago. Today, our new financial masters are asset managers, like Blackstone and BlackRock. And they don’t just own financial assets. The roads we drive on; the pipes that supply our drinking water; the farmland that provides our food; energy systems for electricity and heat; hospitals, schools, and even the homes in which many of us live—all now swell asset managers’ bulging investment portfolios. As the owners of more and more of the basic building blocks of everyday life, asset managers shape the lives of each and every one of us in profound and disturbing ways.
Join us for a book talk with author Brett Christophers, David Harvey, Clara Mattei and Doug Henwood as they peel back the veil on “asset manager society” and the business model of making quick profits instead of long-term investments.
