On its first appearance in 1982, David Harvey’s Limits to Capital was described in Monthly Review as ‘a unique and insightful theory of capital’, and praised in Environment and Planning as ‘a magnificent achievement, [one of] the most complete, readable, lucid and least partisan exegesis, critique and extension of Marx’s mature political economy available.’ This new edition links a general Marxian theory of financial and geographical crises with the incredible turmoil now being experienced in world markets. In his analyses of ‘fictitious capital’ and ‘uneven geographical development,’ Harvey takes the reader step by step through layers of crisis formation, beginning with Marx’s controversial argument concerning the falling rate of profit, moving through crises of credit and finance, and closing with a timely analysis of geo-political and geographical considerations. Recently referred to by Fredric Jameson in New Left Review as a ‘magisterial work,’ The Limits to Capital provides one of the best theoretical guides to the contradictory forms found in the historical and geographical dynamics of capitalist development.

In 1942, the first true 'utility' buses arrived in the city, then in 1947-54 a new fleet was acquired, almost sweeping away the pre-war vehicles. Routes were lengthened and new services introduced, but by the end of the 1950s the glory days were over, culminating in the formation of the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive in 1969.

This is a defense of the Athenian democracy by a great radical historian. Geoffrey de Ste. Croix shows how even its oddest features made sense, and illustrates the different factors influencing Athenian politics--for instance, trade and commercial interests mattered very little. Though written in the 1960s, these hitherto unpublished essays remain fresh and innovative.

Collecting David Harvey's finest work on Paris during the second empire, Paris, Capital of Modernity offers brilliant insights ranging from the birth of consumerist spectacle on the Parisian boulevards, the creative visions of Balzac, Baudelaire and Zola, and the reactionary cultural politics of the bombastic Sacre Couer. The book is heavily illustrated and includes a number drawings, portraits and cartoons by Daumier, one of the greatest political caricaturists of the nineteenth century.

This work brings together seminal articles by David Harvey, published over three decades, on the tensions between geographical knowledge and political power and on the capitalist production of space.
