David Harvey and Occupy’s May DayPosted on Apr 30, 2012
One day ahead of Occupy Wall Street’s broadly anticipated May Day strike, David Harvey, social theorist and professor of anthropology at the City University of New York, talks about the historic importance of urban revolutionary movements. In his latest book “Rebel Cities: From the Right to the City to the Urban Revolution” (Verso 2012), Harvey describes how American capitalism has turned the nation’s cities into “playgrounds for the rich,” while the poor, increasingly pushed to the margins, are left to live among decaying parks, utilities and transportation systems. —ARK “Democracy Now!”: Advertisement Previous item: Mad Cow: Consumer Reports Says Regulators Are Failing the Food Supply Next item: Chris Hedges on Oligarchy and the Global Collapse New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page.
