About the Book

A great deal has been written on what has variously been described as the postmodern condition and postmodern experience, culture, architecture, art and society. In his new book, David Harvey attempts to determine what exactly is meant by the term. He asks whether our experience of shifting dimensions of time and space has resulted in or been the consequence of fundamental changes in capitalist society. Can signs be detected of the emergence of a distinctly new post-capitalist and post-industrial society? This book will be useful to geographers and many others for its account of the arguments surrounding the proposition of modernity, and as a contribution to the debate on what exactly is the nature of current social change.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 The passage from modernity to post-modernity in contemporary culture: modernity and modernism; post-modernism; post-modernism in the city - architecture and urban design; modernization; POST-modernISM or post-MODERNism? Part 2 The political - economic transformation of late 20th century capitalism: fordism; from fordism to flexible accumulation; flexible accumulation - solid transformation or temporary fix?
