**大衛‧哈維：「這是我所寫過最危險的一本書。」 從辨識矛盾、解釋危機到發掘出路 認識當代資本主義的必讀之作 美國最具權威的馬克思研究專家──大衛‧哈維 具有清晰解讀馬克思著作的天賦、思想界的巨人 對21世紀資本主義提出尖銳批判 挑戰性更勝皮凱提！** 當代資本主義世界問題重重 根據錯誤理論的錯誤政策，使得經濟困境更加複雜難解 導致社會騷亂、更加不幸，甚至出現「反資本主義」運動 資本主義的成敗，如何影響我們？ 在現代西方社會，資本主義有如人們呼吸的空氣，一般人極少思考其好壞並提出質疑。但了解資本主義的成敗根源，對了解其長遠前景和全球經濟因此受到的巨大影響至關緊要。 傑出學者哈維透過《資本社會的17個矛盾》，檢視資本流動的內在矛盾，這些矛盾促成近年的危機。他指出，雖然這些矛盾增強了資本體制的彈性和韌性，它們當中也含有系統性災難的種子。許多矛盾是可駕馭的，但有些是致命的，例如追求無止境的複合成長，竭澤而漁地剝削大自然，以及普遍異化的傾向。 資本主義能走過一個又一個危機而蹣跚存活嗎？ 資本體制向來能夠藉由「空間方案」擴張，將以前不在其勢力範圍內的國家與人群納入其疆域中。它能否繼續擴張未有定論，但哈維在本書中認為以中期而言，答案很可能是否定的：資本主義的疆域已無法大幅擴張，近年的金融危機便是一個預兆。 哈維對全球資本體制及其不公不義的分析批判十分銳利，早已獲公認為這方面的頂尖學者。在本書中，他回到他終身努力的基礎，剖析和質疑我們的經濟體制的根本矛盾，同時揭示人類社會在後資本主義世界的可能走向。 了解資本主義的成敗根源，對長遠前景和全球經濟影響至關重要 資本的矛盾與壓力造成：全球大量人口長期失業問題、歐洲與日本經濟陷入衰退漩渦，以及中國、印度和其他金磚國家蹣跚前進的根本原因。 本書分為「根本矛盾」、「移動的矛盾」、「危險的矛盾」三部，以17個章節來討論17個矛盾，「後記」則提供17項建議，協助轉型到公平、合理且永續的社會。 ※...
