Synopsis

As the twentieth century drew to a close, the rich were getting richer; power was concentrating within huge corporations; vast tracts of the earth were being laid waste; three quarters of the earth's population had no control over its destiny and no claim to basic rights.

David Harvey brings an exciting perspective to two of the principal themes of contemporary social globalization and the body.
