Numerous people have emailed to inquire about the US release date of The Enigma of Capital. The book is currently set to be published by Oxford University Press on September 1st of this year.
As of today, Wednesday July 14, we are experiencing difficulties with our streaming videos of the Capital lectures. Our provider, Blip.tv, is currently working to resolve the issue and we hope to have the streaming videos back online asap. In the mean time, you can still download the videos either from this site or from iTunes and watch them on your computer. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Update July 15: Classes 7-12 are now being streamed via Vimeo, while classes 1-6 and 13 remain with Blip.tv. All classes are again accessible via streaming video.

“‘Capital is the lifeblood that flows through the body politic of all those societies we call capitalist, spreading out, sometimes as a trickle and other times as a flood, into every nook and cranny of the inhabited world’, writes David Harvey, the world’s most cited academic geographer. He gives Laurie a radical critique of what governs that flow of capital and what causes the crises which, he claims, will increasingly disrupt that flow with alarming rapidity. Modern economics has buried its head in detail but ignored the systematic character of capital flow, he claims, and it is time for a restore an understanding of how capital works.”
