The Crisis of Capitalism

David Harvey, distinguished professor of anthropology at the City University of New York and author of The Enigma of Capital, considers how financial crises can best be contained within the constraints of capitalism, and makes the case for a social order that would allow us to live within a system that really is responsible, just and humane. Harvey argues that the essence of capitalism is its amorality and lawlessness and to talk of a regulated, ethical capitalism is to make a fundamental error.
