POST 7: David Harvey

In geography, there are several  social scientist... is very difficult  chosse one, but I prefer and admirate David Harvey.

This person is a geographer and social teoric, he was born in England in 1935 and studied in Cambridge and in  the present is a catedratic teacher in the City University of New York and London  School of Economics.

He contributed for the geographic discipline a diversity theories about the space and the relations that occur, for example he wrote about:

• ·         Radical geography
• ·         Theory of uneven geographical development
• ·         Justice, nature and the geography of difference
• ·         The new imperialism
• ·         Brief history of neoliberalism

Books that studies the social conflics since of geographic approach with critic vision, since relates  keys concepts such as the gentrification, the capitalism, the globalization, the economy and the poberty.

I like  Harvey because your thought is similar with me, I have a critic vision about the society and  with Harvey I feel identified. also the economy is important for your research and your form for writte is of easy understanding. for the other side, he always update your knowledge... he is a open mind man.
