The biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression shows no sign ofending, and Marx”s work remains key to any attempt to understand theebb and flow of capitalist economies. For nearly forty years, DavidHarvey has written and lectured on Capital, becoming one of the world”s foremost Marx scholars.
Based on his recent lectures, and following the success of his companion to the first volume of Capital,Harvey turns his attention to Volume 2, aiming to bring his depth oflearning to a broader audience, guiding first-time readers through afascinating and often-neglected text. Whereas Volume 1 focuses onproduction, Volume 2 looks at how value comes into being through thebuying and selling of goods. Harvey also introduces elements from Volume3 on credit and finance to help illustrate aspects of the contemporarycrisis.
