Crises of Capitalism

Here's a very excellent video adaptation of a 2010 David Harvey presentation which explains the 2008 economic crisis and how the financialization of capital (among other things) helped to contribute to that crisis.

In this RSA Animate, celebrated academic David Harvey looks beyond capitalism towards a new social order. Can we find a more responsible, just, and humane economic system?
