Verso, 2006 - Business & Economics - 478 pages

The Limits to Capital provides one of the best theoretical guides to the history and geography of capitalist development.

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 geopolitical and geographical considerations.
