Fab illustration of David Harvey's theories - his Enigma of Capital is a must-read for anyone who cares about why we're in the economic mess we're in, and how to learn from our mistakes.

Absolutely stunning: simple, effective, ingenious and entertaining way of giving the case in a neat little bullet shot that certainly wakes you up, which, as Harvey so rightly says, is what we need to be doing right now: WHERE'S THE DEBATE? Right here, for a start. Fantastic. Thank you all.
