David Harvey • The End of Capitalism?

Wolf Humanities Center's 2011-12 Forum on Adaptations
Dr. S.T. Lee Distinguished Lecture in The Humanities
November 30, 2011
David Harvey
Professor of Geography and Anthropology
Graduate Center, City University of New York
Three years after the near collapse of global financial markets, America is still struggling with unemployment, debt, and foreclosure, European governments are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy-and the world's billionaires are getting richer faster than ever before. The current situation is not sustainable. But what changes need to be made to overcome this mounting crisis of our world economic system? How radical an adaptation will be required? David Harvey, the brilliant theorist and scathing critic of postmodern society, looks at what the future holds for global capitalism.

His example of a functional command economy as Roosevelt calling the corporate heads in and telling them the broad strokes and saying "get it done" is an interesting reframing.
I wish he'd given more examples of what he meant in suggesting Marx saw corporations as "associated capitals", and saw them as part of the future.
