Welcome to Jacobin Radio, I'm Susie Wiseman, and today we're going to have David Harvey with this

Anthropologist and Marxist Geographer. He has a new book, Marx, Capital, and

the Madness of Economic Reason. In less than 200 pages, David Harvey both explicates Marx's work in his three volumes

of capital and shows why it's relevant to 21st century audiences, addressing the continued process of globalization

by referencing Marx's work.

Harvey succeeds in showing how and why.

Carl Marx's writing is written as if it was for our present moment and

that despite the fact that it was written in the 19th century using language of

that time it's a living breathing document with a huge influence

on contemporary social thought and economic theory.

We're going to get his analysis and ideas on this edition of Jacobin Radio.

Welcome to Jacobin Radio.

Welcome to Jacobin Radio.

I'm Susie Wiseman

and very pleased to have David Harvey with us for the first time.

He's a distinguished professor of anthropology at the City University of New York, grad school, and he is a very well-known

Marxist. I think his YouTube presentation of Marx's idea has been viewed

at least a million and maybe more than that times. Is that right, David?

Yeah, there's a lot of downloads.

I don't know how many people stick with it, but it's supposed to test.

But you could say that what you have accomplished throughout your writing career is to make

Marx's ideas understandable for today.
