World Affairs

The Condition of the World offers eye-opening perspectives on various topics, from global environmental devastation to the age of postmodernism, from the relationship between city and nature to the crisis of financial markets, and from new mechanisms of imperialism to social transformation. From the barricades of Paris to the ghettos of Baltimore and the striking workers of Oxford, Harvey, who aligns himself with those resisting capitalism and inequality, reflects a unique synthesis of Marxist method and geographical understanding in his writings.

The Condition of the World, a compilation of David Harvey's most influential articles on politics, culture, economics, and social justice, spans his fifty-year intellectual journey as one of our era's most significant Marxist thinkers.
