Summary:

The Urbanization of Capital (Harvey, 1985b), a collection of six papers published during the previous decade together with two new chapters, does exactly what it says on the cover: It explores the question of how capital -- which Harvey, following Marx, theorizes as a process rather than a thing -- becomes urbanized. ... Harveyʹs explicit aim ... is to ground our understanding of capitalist urbanism within the Marxian theory of accumulation, so it is with this concept that we must begin. After Marx, Harvey claims that there is in the capitalist production process an inherent tendency toward overaccumulation, whereby "too much capital is produced in aggregate relative to the opportunities to employ that capital."--Http://www.jstor.org (March 14, 2016).
