They form a career-spanning collection that tracks not only the development of Harvey over time as an intellectual, but also a dialectical vision that gradually expanded its reach from the slums of Baltimore to global environmental degradation to the American imperium. While Harvey's coverage is wide-ranging, all of the pieces tackle the core concerns that have always animated his work: capitalism past and present, social change, freedom, class, imperialism, the city, nature, social justice, postmodernity, globalization, and-not least-the crises that inhere in capitalism.

Summary:
Partout et constamment, la logique de l'accumulation capitaliste bouleverse les équilibres économiques et politiques, la technique et le travail, l'environnement et le climat, les sociétés et les formes de vie. Le capitalisme est, à quelque échelle qu'on le considère, un système de production de l'espace, c'est-à-dire un pouvoir de façonner les lieux, de modifier en profondeur les paysages, de transformer les rapports spatio-temporels. L'uniformisation du monde par le marché implique en effet une incessante prolifération des différences - économiques, sociales, géographiques, culturelles, géopolitiques. Ce dynamisme même fait du capitalisme un ensemble instable, en proie à des crises chroniques, perpétuellement contraint d'inventer des « solutions spatiales » aux contradictions qui le minent et aux catastrophes diverses qu'elles engendrent. Production et destruction, homogénéisation et différenciation : pour comprendre un capitalisme désormais planétaire, donc se donner les moyens d'en sortir, de briser les rapports inégalitaires qui le fondent, il est essentiel de saisir les logiques spatiales de ce mode de production. C'est à cela que nous invite l'oeuvre du géographe David Harvey, à laquelle ce livre se veut une introduction synthétique.
