If you’ve reading this, you may have noticed some extreme reviews that are, ah... extra. Ignore them. For the topics being covered, David Harvey is among the best to read. He’s clear, concise, and a well-regarded communicator in his field.
We don’t turn books about baking cupcakes into cosmic-scale online battles over whether people should eat food itself. And so we’re capable of reading, and commenting on, the specific topic of the book. ...well, not everyone here, obviously. But YOU are!

Long-time fan of the podcast, and I think each chapter is valuable and well structured. The content is stellar, but the delivery is not. It reads like a collection of transcripts rather than a cohesive whole, even retaining speech mannerisms.
Would absolutely recommend the content, put would suggest you check out the podcast instead.

Gli ultimi due capitoli sul covid devastanti a giudicare da come poi si sono messe le cose realmente.

A través dels seus capítols clars i concisos, David Harvey fa un excel·lent exercici d'anàlisi i pedagogia de la situació actual de crisi del sistema capitalista global, a través de les seves pròpies reflexions així com de l'anàlisi de la història de l'acumulació del capital i dels diversos escrits de Marx. Per mi, ha estat clau per entendre les dinàmiques del capital en el món actual i representa una forta base de partida per aquells interessats en saber què passa al món i que podem fer per canviar-lo a millor per a tothom.

As always Harvey's writing is great. Each chapter is short and accessible, covering a different topic of contemporary relevance with reference to Marxist theory. It just didn't feel particularly novel or interesting as a collection though. I guess it's a nice introduction to 2020 Harvey, but there are better texts on marxist theory that are relevant today
