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.

the people will hang on to stability for as long as they can ... then they go wild. The people are hanging on. They follow celebrity. They stare at the dream & look away from declining personal reality. Reality is too complicated to understand, because it is never simply revealed by the powers that be. So the people hang on to the simple & tighten their belts, work harder & look away from neighbours that fail. They even blame the neighbours that fail. But youth are different. They riot quicker.

"...(t)here's a simple problem here: Wealth and power and the way the concentrations of them exercise political domination."
Good ol' Karl, still brazen after all these years!
Here's the calm voice of reason, of materialist rationality.
I also loved his question strategy: three at a time.
Recommend this to ALL; if I were still teaching, I'd "teach" it.
