Preferred term

David Harvey

David Harvey (1935–) is an urban geographer whose influence on anthropology has been both institutional and theoretical. His primary contribution to social scientific thought has hinged on two questions: (1) Why does capitalism need geographical space? and (2) How does it use geographical space in a manner that both facilitates and threatens its own continued existence? These questions form the heart of an intellectual rapprochement that has simultaneously challenged geography to make effective theoretical use of Marxism, and Marxism to make effective theoretical use of geography.
