The Advanced Introduction to Marxism and Human Geography explores the fundamental aspects of Marx‘s conceptualization of capital and of capitalist development, including value theory, the class relation, accumulation and the development of the capitalist division of labor.

Key features include:

• Comparative insights into human geography and Marx‘s theory


• A detailed discussion of capitalism and Marxism, covering topics such as capitalist geography, the capitalist city and urbanization
