《資本的限度》("The Limits to Capital")是大衛哈維在1982年出版的重量級馬克思主義著作，素有「地理學的《資本論》」之稱，是公認哈維最重要、卻也最少有人真正讀過的經典。在探究資本積累與土地、都市化之內在聯繫的脈絡下，哈維在這本書中延續馬克思的辯證，發展了《資本論》尚未展開的關於固定資本、金融資本、信用體系、土地租金、空間關係與帝國主義等重要範疇，提出著名的「空間修補(spatial fix)」概念，建立了馬克思主義有關土地金融化、資本都市化、房地產市場與全球資本主義危機的核心理論。
本課程是在既有社會學理論課關於《資本論》的討論基礎上，以讀書會形式、每周一章的進度，「完整閱讀《資本的限度》("The Limits to Capital")整本書(有中譯本)」，從而掌握大衛哈維的核心理論旨趣，理解當代理論大師如何從《資本論》中汲取養分、發展出重要的空間政治經濟學，並深化對於馬克思主義理論概念的認識。

"The Limits to Capital" is David Harvey's heavyweight Marxist work published in 1982. It is known as the "Das Kapital" of geography. It is recognized as Harvey's most important classic, but one that few people have actually read. In the context of exploring the intrinsic connection between capital accumulation, land, and urbanization, Harvey continued Marx's dialectics in this book, developing important categories such as fixed capital, financial capital, credit system, land rent, spatial relations, and imperialism that had not yet been developed in Capital. He proposed the famous concept of "spatial fix" and established the core Marxist theory of land financialization, capital urbanization, real estate market, and global capitalist crisis.
This course is based on the discussion of "Das Kapital" in the existing sociology theory class, in the form of a book club, and "reads the entire book "The Limits to Capital" (Chinese translation available)" in the form of a book club, "The Limits to Capital" (Chinese translation is available)", so as to grasp the core theoretical purpose of David Harvey, understand how contemporary theoretical masters draw nutrients from "Das Kapital", develop important spatial political economics, and deepen their understanding of Marxist theoretical concepts.
