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.

Summary:

Our shared values- equality and fairness, democracy and freedom, community and solidarity- can provide both the basis for a critique of capitalism and help to guide us toward a socialist and democratic society.

Summary:
Capitalism has transformed the world and increased our productivity, but at the cost of enormous human suffering. Our shared values- equality and fairness, democracy and freedom, community and solidarity- can provide both the basis for a critique of capitalism and help to guide us toward a socialist and democratic society. Erik Olin Wright has distilled decades of work into this concise and tightly argued manifesto: analyzing the varieties of anticapitalism, assessing different strategic approaches, and laying the foundations for a society dedicated to human flourishing. ''How to be an anticapitalist in the twenty-first century'' is an urgent and powerful argument for socialism, and an unparalleled guide to help us get there. Another world is possible. Included is an afterword by the author’s close friend and collaborator Michael Burawoy.

Profit is the original genius of homo sapiens, who learned how to unleash the energy stored in wood, exploit the land, and refashion ecosystems. As civilization developed, we found more and more ways of extracting surplus value from the earth, often deploying brutally effective methods to discipline people to do the work needed.

Summary:
Profit is the original genius of homo sapiens, who learned how to unleash the energy stored in wood, exploit the land, and refashion ecosystems. As civilization developed, we found more and more ways of extracting surplus value from the earth, often deploying brutally effective methods to discipline people to do the work needed. Historian Mark Stoll explains how capitalism supercharged this process and traces its many environmental consequences. The financial innovations of medieval Italy created trade networks that, with the European discovery of the Americas, made possible vast profits and sweeping cultural changes, to the detriment of millions of slaves and indigenous Americans; the industrial age united the world in trade and led to an energy revolution that changed lives everywhere. But when efficient production left society awash in goods, a new sort of capitalism, predicated on endless individual consumption, took its place.
