Frases de David Harvey

David Harvey é um geógrafo britânico marxista formado na Universidade de Cambridge. É professor da City University of New York e trabalha com diversas questões ligadas à geografia urbana.

Seu primeiro livro, Explanation in Geography, publicado em 1969, versa sobre a epistemologia da geografia, ainda no paradigma da chamada geografia quantitativa. Posteriormente, Harvey muda o foco de sua atenção para a problemática urbana, a partir de uma perspectiva materialista-dialética. Publica então Social Justice and the City no início da década de 1970, onde confronta o paradigma liberal e o paradigma marxista na análise dos problemas urbanos. Seu livro seguinte, The Limits to Capital, é um denso estudo do pensamento econômico de Marx. Com algumas posições heterodoxas em relação a alguns aspectos da teoria marxiana tradicional, como a teoria das crises, o livro não foi tão bem aceito quando da sua publicação inicial. Posteriormente, principalmente após a apreciação de Fredric Jameson nos anos 90, o livro ganhou novo interesse, em especial pela sua compreensão renovada do problema do capital financeiro e da renda fundiária.

Mais recentemente, Harvey tem defendido a tese do crescimento zero para a economia global. Durante o Fórum Social Mundial de 2010, afirmou: "Três por cento de crescimento composto está se tornando cada vez menos viável de se sustentar sem recorrer a toda sorte de ficções . Há boas razões para acreditar que não há alternativa senão uma nova ordem mundial de governança que afinal deverá gerir a transição para uma economia de crescimento zero."Em 2012 a Verso Books organizou uma coletânea de artigos de Harvey publicados em periódicos como New Left Review e Socialist Register apresentando exemplos que vão desde a Comuna de Paris até o Movimento Occupy Wall Street para refletir sobre como a vida nas cidades poderia ser socialmente mais justa e ecologicamente mais sã. Ele afirma que a ocupação do espaço público nunca foi tão discutida como neste início do século XXI, e é nas cidades que vemos acontecer os mais importantes movimentos de resistência e as rebeliões que clamam por mudanças na ordem política e social. Nova York, São Paulo, Mumbai, Pequim, Bogotá e até Johanesburgo fazem parte da apurada análise do britânico David Harvey a respeito da cidade, provocando reflexões contundentes, a respeito de quem controla o acesso aos recursos urbanos, por exemplo, ou de quem determina a organização da vida cotidiana.

Seu livro mais recente, Seventeen contradictions and the end of capitalism procura arrematar seu projeto de estudo e difusão da obra de Karl Marx em um poderoso livro de intervenção – nas palavras de Harvey, este é o "livro mais perigoso" que já escreveu. Wikipedia

Contexto: The inner logic that governs the laws of motion of capitalism is cold, ruthless and inexorable, responsive only to the law of value. Yet value is a social relation, a product of a particular historical process. Human beings were organizers, creators and participants in that history. We have, Marx asserts, built a vast social enterprise which dominates us, delimits our freedoms and ultimately visits upon us the worst forms of degradation.
