Sounds like the same thing he is trying to do in Limits to Capital.
What's the difference?
I haven't seen the new book yet, but I think as someone else said, it's
really more of a companion to /Capital/. /Limits/, on the other hand,
was much more Harvey's own interpretation and extension of Marx. I think
he intended the title as a triple entendre: (1) limits to capital as a
system [crises, etc.], (2) limits to /Capital /as a text [where Marx
stopped too short or needs revision], and (3) [given that he's an urban
geographer, among other things] the spatial limits of capitalism [as in
city limits].
Murray Bookchin did a very similar play on words with his /Limits to the
City/ <http://www.amazon.com/Limits-City-Murray-Bookchin/dp/0920057640>,
which, although he claimed he came up with the argument independently,
mirrors Marx's discussion of urbanization and its contradictions in the
/Grundrisse/.
