In this interview with the British journal New Left Review, David Harvey summarizes the main stages of his trajectory. His first works were positivistic in inspiration; then came his conversion to Marxism, his fieldwork and his theorization of urban space. He reflects on postmodernity and the transformation of contemporary capitalism, particularly in its global aspects. It is this latter perspective, analyzed via the prism of imperialism, which is at the center of Harvey’s current research and which has political conclusions which relate to the contemporary meaning of the socialist project.
