In his groundbreaking book, Power and Property in an Age of Crisis, David Harvey examines the relationship between power and property in times of crisis. The book argues that power is not simply a matter of who owns what, but also of who has the ability to shape the meaning and use of property. In periods of crisis, this relationship becomes even more complex and contested, as different groups compete for control over resources and the power to define what constitutes property.

Harvey draws on a wide range of case studies from around the world to illustrate how power and property are intricately linked, and how this relationship has shaped the course of history. He shows how, in times of crisis, the powerful often use their control over property to consolidate their power and exclude others from access to resources. This can lead to a vicious cycle of inequality and social unrest, as the gap between the rich and the poor grows wider.
