Abstract
This collection of essays set out to show how successive crises in capitalism generate urbanization as capital switches between extracting surplus from production of commodities for sale to land speculation, property development and the production of infrastructure and housing, often with the state as a key intermediary. This approach to analysing the relationships of citizens with their landlords, employers and suppliers at various scales was a huge help to me as a young academic in the mid-1980s. We were trying to make sense of rapidly-changing capitalism as old certainties of the 70s were dissolved and many of us found Harvey’s approach illuminating for our students and ourselves.
