More quotes by David Harvey

David Harvey

David Harvey
Capitalists behave like capitalists wherever they are. They pursue the expansion of value through exploitation without regard to the social consequences.
David Harvey
The capacity to transform itself from the inside makes capitalism a somewhat peculiar beast - chameleon-like, it perpetually changes it colour snake-like, it periodically sheds its skin.
David Harvey
The freedom to make and remake our cities and ourselves is, I want to argue, one of the most precious yet most neglected of our human rights.
David Harvey
Speculation in land may be necessary to capitalism, but speculative orgies periodically become a quagmire of destruction for capital itself.
David Harvey
When money functions as measure of value it must truly represent the values it helps to circulate.
David Harvey
The only solution to the contradictions of capitalism entails the abolition of wage labour.
David Harvey
The net worth of the 358 richest people in the world was then found to be 'equal to the combined income of the poorest 45 per cent of the worlds population - 2.3 billion people.
