David Harvey citáty

David Harvey je britský geograf a sociální teoretik, představitel marxistické geografie. Jeho sociální teorie se od politických a ekonomických procesů obrátila ke studiu času a prostoru, především v moderním velkoměstě. Roku 2007 byl osmnáctým nejcitovanějším autorem v sociálních a humanitních vědách.K jeho nejznámějším knihám patří Condition of Postmodernity z roku 1989, kde postmoderní éru definoval jako éru postfordovskou, započatou krizí nadprodukce související s ropnou krizí roku 1973.

Z marxistických pozic kritizuje globalizaci, kapitalismus a neoliberalismus, podporuje tzv. participativní ekonomiku a demokracii a ideu "práv města", jejímž autorem je Henri Lefebvre. Wikipedia
