In this analysis of the capitalist totality, Professor Harvey provides a critical examination of the exploitative nature of capitalism from the perspective of the emancipated worker. The capitalist totality refers to the all-encompassing system of capitalism, which affects every aspect of modern society, including the economy, politics, culture, and even our personal lives.


Using his recent book as a foundation, Professor Harvey exposes the deep-rooted inequalities and injustices that exist in the capitalist system. He highlights how workers are oppressed by capitalists who constantly seek to extract the maximum amount of labor from them while paying them as little as possible. Furthermore, he argues that this oppression stems from the inherent contradictions within capitalism, which prioritize profit over the well-being of workers.


Throughout his analysis, Professor Harvey emphasizes the agency of workers in challenging and changing the conditions that oppress them. By acknowledging the oppressive nature of capitalism and the agency of workers to resist and transform it, he offers a critical perspective on the current state of the world and a path towards a more just and equitable future.
