The Enigma Of Capital by David Harvey
and the Crises of Capitalism
An analysis of capitalism as a dynamic, crisis-prone system driven by the imperative of accumulation, arguing that recurrent crises arise from overaccumulation and problems of realizing surplus value; it traces how mechanisms such as financialization, credit expansion, privatization, and dispossession are used to absorb surplus and defer breakdowns, producing uneven geographical development, intensified urbanization, and deepening social antagonisms, and contends that a political understanding of these processes is necessary to confront and transform the system.
