Prof Harvey uses a simplified version of historical materialism to apply Marx's philosophy to the modern issue of climate change.

"Technology, relation to nature, social relations, production structures, and mental conceptions of the world, and administrative and social structures- all of those elements are part of the totality of what a capitalist society is about. So that is the, if you like, the simplification which we're going to make about historical materialism." - David Harvey
