"What I am seeking here is a better understanding of the contradictions of capital, not of capitalism. I want to know how the economic engine of capitalism works the way it does, and why it might stutter and stall and sometimes appear to be on the verge of collapse. I also want to show why this economic engine should be replaced, and with what." --from the Introduction
To modern Western society, capitalism is the air we breathe, and most people rarely think to question it, for good or for ill. But knowing what makes capitalism work--and what makes it fail--is crucial to understanding its long-term health, and the vast implications for the global economy that go along with it.
In Seventeen Contradictions and the End of Capitalism, the eminent scholar David Harvey, author of A Brief History of Neoliberalism, examines the internal contradictions within the flow of capital that have precipitated recent crises. He contends that while the contradictions have made capitalism flexible and resilient, they also contain the seeds of systemic catastrophe. Many of the contradictions are manageable, but some are fatal: the stress on endless compound growth, the necessity to exploit nature to its limits, and tendency toward universal alienation. Capitalism has always managed to extend the outer limits through "spatial fixes," expanding the geography of the system to cover nations and people formerly outside of its range. Whether it can continue to expand is an open question, but Harvey thinks it unlikely in the medium term future: the limits cannot extend much further, and the recent financial crisis is a harbinger of this.
David Harvey has long been recognized as one of the world's most acute critical analysts of the global capitalist system and the injustices that flow from it. In this book, he returns to the foundations of all of his work, dissecting and interrogating the fundamental illogic of our economic system, as well as giving us a look at how human societies are likely to evolve in a post-capitalist world.

資本社會確實存在許多嚴重的問題,本書作者對於資本所生矛盾的分析,多半是事實,其中關於房地產的例子又特別引我深思。但問題是,它對解決資本現實的矛盾所提示的方法卻又很空泛,有點淪落於左派革命運動常見的狹隘見解裡。而本書另一缺點,則是它在部份篇幅的文字過於糾結而...
評分2017,我們,病入膏肓的現代人。二十年前我們剛剛開始用大寶,二十年後大部分城市年輕姑娘的梳妝颱上已經變成瞭至少十瓶起的各種精華、水、乳、霜。二十年前我們穿一雙鞋能跑能跳能走天下,二十年後我們散步/滑闆/跑步/訓練都得各有兩雙。二十年前一個季度兩三件衣服也沒挨著凍...
評分一. 危機 1.如馬剋思所言,全球危機一直是“資本主義經濟所有矛盾的真正集中和強製調整”.危機是資本主義再造所必要的,人們在危機中更新升級資本主義。這種升級和更新不僅體現在物質景觀的變化,如小區的改造,工廠的翻新,大樓的修建上,更體現在思維方式,製度與意識形態,...
評分大衛哈維作為當代《資本論》最權威的研究者,試圖通過總結資本社會的17個矛盾來揭開當今資本主義社會發展所存在的種種問題,可以說這些問題短期內不會動搖到資本主義的根基,但是如果不及時反思改革,難說資本主義經曆這麼多年的發展,矛盾一步一步擴大,進而威脅到資本體係的...
評分一本左翼經濟學書的幾點啓示 迄今為止讀過的經濟學書大多是偏右翼偏自由主義的,畢竟大概百分之九十五的經濟學傢都是偏右的吧,當代還堅持馬剋思主義左翼經濟學的可謂鳳毛麟角,絕對算不得主流。但是長期聽一個聲音也未免擔心自己有失偏頗,就算是為瞭開拓視野,也該知...

我對資本主義沒有這麼深的成見,但是他真的很有深度
評分albeit many of the areas marx stipulated in his unfinished vast analytical project of Das Kapital and its externalities arent being covered, harvey applies marx's conceptual apparatus in analysing the current global capitalist crisis and its urge for remedies if the global system needed to be sustained, even a non-marxist will enjoy reading it

評分豆瓣8.0你們在開玩笑,滿分10分我打500分,難以想象我讀瞭一本如此枯燥卻如此牛逼的作品,目測書評要寫半個月。
