David Harvey is Professor of Geography at The Johns Hopkins University.
Harvey relates this tendency to the dangers of a new totalitarianism, arising from the estheticization of space.
Harvey perpetuates the sense of critical theory established decades earlier by The Frankfurt School; he thus spins out a conceptual thread that THE PROGRAMME values.

 Marxist Theory, the Globalisation of Port Development, and the Role of Labour
Harvey's theory of time-space compression can be understood through capitalist flexible accumulation introducing new forms of labour control through the coordination of more efficient forms of turn over time, coupled with the ability to invest/disinvest or relocate production across spatial (that is, locational or regional) barriers easily.
Harvey introduces the general theoretical propositions of time and space around what Marx implies for capital's propensity to reduce circulation time, especially in transport relations and exchange, encompassed in the term the ‘annihilation of space by time’.
Harvey sees that the current trend in labour markets is designed to "reduce the number of 'core' workers and to rely increasingly upon a work force that can quickly be taken on board and equally quickly and costlessly be laid off when times get bad".

 Welcome to Routledge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
David Harvey is the most influential geographer of our era, possessing a reputation that extends across the social sciences and humanities.
Harvey also reflects on the work and careers of little-noticed or misrepresented figures in geography's intellectual history-Kant, Von Thünen, Humboldt, Lattimore, Hegel, Heidegger, Darwin, Malthus, Foucault and many others.
Harvey's insights into current social, environmental, and political trends, in combination with his historical observations, demonstrate the centrality of geography to comprehending the world as it is-and as it might be.

 Socialist Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Neo-liberalism is, for Harvey, a response to a dual crisis that emerged in the mid-1970s for the ruling class.
Harvey is keen that the non-governmental organisations (NGOs), which have often played a major role in gatherings such as the World Social Forum, are not seen as the 'official opposition' to neo-liberalism: 'The growth of the NGO phenomenon has been amazing during the neo-liberal period.
Harvey argues that class has to be treated as a fluid concept: 'We have to look again at the concepts of class formation and reformation.

 On the Conditions for being Postmodern
In his eminently readable The Condition of Postmodernity, geographer David Harvey presents a concise and coherent depiction of the postmodern period, making the argument that postmodern culture is demonstrably different from modern culture, although such changes may be only superficial in the end.
Harvey himself, it seems, falls into the same trap of overgeneralizing which he claims has snared most postmodernists, not in his evaluation of modernity within any one discipline, but in his assumption that it could be carried out in the same way between disciplines.
Harvey himself makes only the claim that Joyce is about "the quest to capture the sense of simultaneity in space and time during thir period, insisting upon the present as the only real location of experience." (Harvey 267) While this is a nice point, it does not draw the causal linkage Harvey wants.

David Harvey thus faces us with a very composite book, some of which dates in fact from the late 1970s, and some of which represents recent thinking.
Yet, in spite of these reservations and in spite of the regret that David Harvey thought it unnecessary to engage more forcefully and comprehensively with much of the recent scholarship, this book deserves to be taken very seriously indeed.

Harvey (anthropology, CUNY Graduate Sch.) is one of the most influential geographers of the later 20th century, especially as concerns the relationship among politics, capitalism, and the social aspects of geographical theory.
David Harvey is one of geography's best-known social theorists and one of the most important voices on the academic left in the United States...at a time when the fashionable abstractions of hte bougrgeois left just do not seem cute anymore, Harvey's historical geographic materialist analysis offers a refreshingly real-and-imagined geography of radical hope.

 International Socialism: Where it came from
David Harvey, the leading Marxist geographer, manages to cram a lot into this brief history of the renaissance of free market capitalism in the guise of neoliberalism.
Harvey describes all of this but he does not want to discuss its implications for the future, and the possibility and direction of change.
Most of what Harvey discusses here seems familiar in terms of crisis theory, and given his argument that things should be called by their proper names it is perhaps unhelpful to try to give these the additional gloss of ‘dispossession’.

Geographer David Harvey calls this the concept of "time-space compression."
I mean to signal by that term processes that so revolutionize the objective qualities of space and time that we are forced to alter, sometimes in quite radical ways, how we represent the world to ourselves.
The experience of time-space compression is challenging, exciting, stressful, and sometimes deeply troubling, capable of sparking, therefore, a diversity of social, cultural, and political responses.

 Amazon.com: The New Imperialism (Clarendon Lectures in Geography and Environmental Studies): Books: David Harvey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Harvey cites the U.S.' ruthlessness in pressing global hegemony since the 1800s, including the internment of Japanese in World War II and the recent Patriot and Homeland Security Acts.
Harvey is pressing an academic point within the broad Marxian tradition-- a point which also has broad practical consequences for confronting imperialism's latest incarnation.
Harvey descibes this new imperialism as accumulation by dispossession, a controversial description since dispossession in classic Marxist thinking is supposed to be restricted to the primitive forms of accumulation of times gone by.

His work is also an appeal to labour historians to see space as a source of power and an object of social struggle, not merely a flat stage for historical actors to play out the drama of class conflict.
Such a labour-centered geographical model can be potentially more radical and empowering for workers as they not only think globally and act locally but also move decisively on the world stage.
There is certainly a geographic dimension to this story, but much of the account has a more familiar David-versus-Goliath ring to it.

During Winter Term 2006 the Department of Geography was very proud to welcome David Harvey, an internationally recognized scholar and critical geographer of the first rank, who has changed the ways that we can conceive our discipline and geographical inquiry.
