Seventeen Contradictions and the End of Capitalism

Summary:

The book critically examines the internal contradictions within the capitalist system, identifying seventeen key paradoxes that range from the production of value to the nature of freedom in a neoliberal context. It argues that these inherent conflicts are leading to increasing instability and crises, suggesting that the resolution of these contradictions could signal the end of capitalism as we know it.

Key points:

1. Use vs. Market Value: Harvey says that the conflict between how useful a product is and its market price can cause overproduction and economic crises because goods are made for profit, not need.
