About this listen

The world's leading Marxist geographer and economist guides general listeners through major concepts in capitalism and Marx's masterwork

For decades, David Harvey has been teaching Marx's work, particularly Capital, to great acclaim. He has analyzed chapter by chapter—sometimes line-by-line—Marx's three volumes and the Grundrisse. This new book opens up the mental universe of that work for a general listener.

In The Story of Capital, Harvey takes a synoptic approach to the conceptual architecture as a whole and guides us through the key moments, from labor and technology to the state and geopolitics, via the profit rate, social reproduction, the relationship to nature, fictitious capital, and the return of the rentiers. In doing so, Harvey has produced a work which will become a key reference for all those trying to grasp the nature of contemporary capitalism.
