Product Description
There are certain periods in the development of social sciences when books emerge that deeply shake and transform existing perspectives. Social Justice and the City is one of them. It is a classic work in spatial studies. Harvey, who critically examines capitalist and socialist formulations related to urbanism in separate sections, in a sense, provided the first example of the application of historical materialism to spatial studies, showing how social injustice overlaps with divisions and differentiations in space.
How are wealth and poverty distributed geographically? Is a fair distribution possible between different places, locations, or regions? Through what means is it possible? Are these means themselves fair? What makes the first arrivals in a city "masters" and the last arrivals "pariahs"?
Capitalism is often seen in popular consciousness as "profiteering"; Social Justice and the City proves that the development of capitalism can and should also be viewed geographically, and that capitalism is also a game of "musical chairs" played in space.
