Join us for the book launch at The People’s Forum featuring David Harvey and discussant Adam Tooze.
David Harvey’s new book, The Story of Capital: What Everyone Should Know About How Capital Works, has been published by Verso Press.
Over the decades, David Harvey has won the acclaim of students and academics for his teaching of Marx’s work, with a particular focus on Capital. Chapter by chapter – sometimes line by line – he has analysed and expatiated on Marx’s three volumes and the Grundrisse. Now in The Story of Capital, this mental universe, populated by observations gleaned from a lifetime of scholarship, becomes accessible to the general reader.
David Harvey is a Distinguished Professor of Anthropology & Geography at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY), the Director of Research at the Center for Place, Culture and Politics, and the author of numerous books. He has been teaching Karl Marx’s Capital for over 50 years.
Adam Tooze is the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Professor of History at Columbia University. He teaches and researches widely in the fields of twentieth-century and contemporary history. From a start in modern German history with a special focus on the history of economics and economic history his interests have widened to take in a range of themes in political, intellectual and military history, across a canvas stretching from Europe across the Atlantic. His most recent book was Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World’s Economy (2021).
