Erminia Maricato - I want to thank the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism, the assignment of the audience, thanking the Committee for Graduate Studies, the simultaneous evidea translation, and thank Boitempo for having evidea sponsored the coming of David Harvey. We thank mainly to Harvey, the availability. He was in Argentina - going back to Argentina - and prepared to make three conferences in Brazil. He is, since 2001, professor of Anthropology Course Graduate of City University of New York, was also a professor of geography at the universities of Oxford and John Hopkins. His book The Postmodern Condition, published in Portuguese by Editora Loyola, was appointed evidea by The Independent as one of the 50 most important works of nonfiction published since the 2nd World War. In Portuguese, we have social Justice evidea and the City, 1980, by Hucitec, The postmodern condition is 1993, Loyola, Spaces of Hope, 2004, Loyola, The New Imperialism, 2004 by Loyola, the p roduction capitalist space, which is the Annablume, 2005, The enigma of capital, which is the book that is being released today and on which it will make the exposure. So we face an intellectual who has an academic production to Lattes no find fault. But he has a reason much bigger than this, he is an activist anticapitalist. And I mean, this university, this engagement does not diminish the value of academic production. On the contrary, their engagement gives consistency and originality to your work. The engagement of seeking social justice is proper to people who are generous and they want the full development of society, of humanity and of each individual. You need to know to transform, and it is this work that Harvey does. He believes it is possible to transform, and it is necessary to know thoroughly, to make this transformation. evidea And he'll talk then about the crises of capitalism. I want to add one more thing, that Harvey understands our pleasure to have you here, and he also understands the importance of being here. Besides important leftist intellectuals and political activists who are of our generation, we have a guys in here that increasingly engages in this new cycle of social struggles in Brazil. This moçada already noticed that electoral evidea disputes should not be ignored, but certainly not lead us to the world we want, and that in countries evidea like Brazil, capitalism takes advantage of specific features, such as inheritances slave and patrimonialism. We are now emerging, let us not deceive. Partners of the old fights and new struggles, we hear our great guest. (...) Now, for those who said a few years ago that Marx was dead, with the word, David Harvey.
David Harvey - It is a great privilege to be here, I would like to have public like this in New York, would be great. The general idea of the book The Enigma of Capital was to take the theory of crisis, as I considered over the years, and try to explain what was happening around us, with respect to theoretical understandings. One of the understandings that emerged in order to bring together the theory and the theory and history, was the recognition that capital never solves its crisis evidea tendencies, it simply evidea moves them from place. And he moves them in a double sense, he moves them from one type of problem to another. For example, there may be problems in the labor market, a crisis of labor power in relation to capital, which is then solved by the financialization evidea or other measures that take the power of work only to leave you with more problems in the market. There are many different ways of how the crisis can be presented, and I think what we're seeing in the last five years, there has been a movement, ever faster, a sector of the economy evidea to another. For example, begins in the world of consumption, with housing problems, then goes to the financial sector, and then the financial sector, for a sovereign debt crisis of some nation states. And then a way on how this crisis can be transferred, it is back to the banking evidea sector, if the sovereign debt can not be resolved. But instead of doing that, we get an austerity policy, which pushes the crisis for the people, for the people. So you see this movement of the crisis over time. But she is also moving in a geographical sense, and I especially like to talk about it tonight. Because a connection is lacking in understanding of this crisis is the way it is rooted in the history of urbanization and urban development. This is something I intere
