'Geographers of the world unite'
Kevin Cox in praise of 'restless scholar' @davidharvey.org

This essay is part of this week's edition of the Best of Political Economy: buff.ly/WLMw523
This piece revisits Marx’s core ideas, breaking them down to reveal how individual capitalist pursuits exacerbate systemic instability, as competition drives labor productivity up while profitability falls.

Two books. David Harvey’s The Story of Capital and Chelsi West Ohueri’s Encountering Race in Albania
Came home to two new books. Skimmed a few chapters of Chelsi West Ohueri’s and i can see it working for a few different classes: ethnographic methods; ethnographic writing; race; anthro of Europe…
Karl Marx desarrolló su crítica al capitalismo estudiando las «fábricas satánicas» de Inglaterra. Sin embargo, escribe David Harvey, entendía el capitalismo como un sistema global. Si estuviera vivo, insistiría en que los socialistas se centraran tanto en Silicon Valley como en Shenzhen.
Dans cet entretien, David Harvey revenait sur la crise de ce projet de classe qu'est le néolibéralisme. Il évoquait aussi les transformations de la classe travailleuse, le rôle que peuvent jouer les intellectuel·les critiques et la nécessité d'une vision utopique 👇

"The American empire that has sheltered capital for so long is starting to crack."
The world's leading Marxist geographer and economist @davidharvey.org takes us by the hand to guide us through Marx's masterwork in his new book, The Story of Capital.
Three hour train journey ahead, but I have a new book to get into by @davidharvey.org
The Story of Capital by @davidharvey.org is essential reading for all those trying to grasp the nature of contemporary capitalism.

Finally here, excited to read this @davidharvey.org @versobooks.bsky.social
@davidharvey.org thank you so much for that course you have on youtube to guide people through capital volume 1. Helped me through it the first time and its gonna help again now that I am rereading it 🙏
I plainly got way too busy because I missed that @davidharvey.org -- whose regularly updated YouTube lecture series on reading Marx was essential to both me and hundreds of thousands of others finally grasping the material -- has a new book out. So looking forward to diving in.
THE STORY OF CAPITAL
OUT NOW
For decades, @davidharvey.org has been teaching Marx's work. This new book opens up the mental universe of that work for a general reader.
A Chinese version of Harvey’s Anti-capitalist chronicles
6:13 .の Following 97 老鱼的江湖 A book for both Marxists and neoliberals to read. My favorite quote from the book by Polanyi: True freedom begins when we step away from the market economy- Wishing everyone a relaxing post-work life from the 7th day of the Lunar New Year. • The author, David Harvey, is a Marxist, so he doesn't hesitate to praise the great achievements of his motherland. • He dedicates a significant portion of the book to interpreting neoliberalism, adopting a relatively subjective and negative stance, which is quite comforting. •Throughout the book, he constantly quotes Marx's views and *Das Kapital*, which is immensely helpful for understanding Marxism. • He summarizes and makes predictions about the global and Chinese economies, which are not entirely accurate but highly enlightening. •He provides interpretations of neoliberalism, Keynesianism, Marxism, neoclassical economics, and more, serving a clear educational purpose. I highly recommend this book; the translation is very accessible and easy to understand. #reading
Cool seeing a @davidharvey.org book being discussed on rednote!
Karl Marx developed his critique of capitalism by studying England’s “satanic mills.”
But, as David Harvey writes, he understood capitalism as a global system. Were he alive today, he would insist that socialists focus on Silicon Valley as much as Shenzhen.

Problems have solutions. Contradictions do not. They are permanent points of tension that can only be managed within the system in which they are embedded. They only go away when the system as a whole disappears.

The Story of Capital book
James Folta, Lit Hub, Most Anticipated Books of 2026:
"Harvey’s ability to entangle the dense work and make it legible is unparalleled, and I’m looking forward to this new book about Marx’s influential economic text, and what Harvey has to teach about its lessons."
Today, February 21, 2026, is the 178th anniversary of the publication of the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and is celebrated around the world as #RedBooksDay. Read a red book today!
