Featuring an interview with David Harvey by Mariano Gomez Luque and Daniel Ibañez
Marxist geographer David Harvey opened his lecture with a fact: between 2011 and 2013 China
consumed 50 percent more cement than the United States had in the entire twentieth century. In
Abstract from the Concrete, he asks why. Spiralling outward—geographically and materially—
Harvey travels from the building industry in China to the foreclosed housing market in the United
States to the automobile industry in São Paolo and back again. The why emerges as a direct
result of “anti-value,” of capital in crisis—intrinsic, he contends, to capital and capital cities today.
The Incidents is a series of publications based on events that occurred at the Harvard University
Graduate School of Design between 1936 and tomorrow.
