"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.

資本的根本矛盾並非互不相關。它們以多種方式密切聯係起來,為資本積纍提供基本架構。使用價值與交換價值的矛盾(矛盾1),有賴貨幣的存在,而貨幣與社會勞動這種價值是有矛盾的(矛盾2)。交換價值及其度量標準(貨幣)假定交易雙方有某種法律關係,我們因此接受個體擁有私有...
評分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...

評分斯蒂格利茨曾說過:“自1500年以來,世界上就有兩種纍計財富的方式,一種是靠辛勤勞動,一種是欺詐掠奪。”中國的成功代錶瞭前一種方式,而後一種則是西方的資本主義。馬剋思認為社會主義將在資本主義發展到不能再發展的時候,代錶一種全新的生産方式,和與適閤該關係的階層或...
