David Harvey is a english geographer recognized at the global level for its large number of publications in relation to the current geography, looking at it from a social point of view, even though he is able to relate topics such as politics, economy, society and territory.
In his beginnings, he was interested in the historical and quantitative geography, belonging to the current geography classic, but in the years 70 arrives in Baltimore (USA) and begins to be interested by a current completely opposite to the classic, that is the radical current.
Harvey is also renowned for its great contributions to this current linked to marxist theory.
Personally, I was fortunate enough to attend a conference that gave last year at the Catholic University, on that occasion the auditorium was full of people eager to listen, not only people of geography but that of other areas of knowledge because Harvey transcends in the social sciences. It was a conference really fascinating.
In my opinion, I think that is a great geographer has managed to create theories that are adjusted to the reality of the modern world in which we live, governed practically by capitalism.
Until is looking at Karl Marx 😂
Regards!
