Abstract: Capitalist productions of space and economic crisis. David Harvey’s notion of the spatial fix. David Harvey’s contribution to an understanding of the space-economy of capitalism is largely absent from German economic geography. In engaging with his work in this article, the focus lies with a reconstruction of the precise meaning of the notions spatial fix and spatio-temporal fix as deployed by Harvey. It also discusses his concepts of structured coherence, the secondary circuit of capital and the circulation of fixed capital through the built environment. Central spatial aspects of the financial and economic crisis of 2008/09, and the neoliberal answers to the crisis of Fordism that preceded it, are used to illustrate how these notions are able to illuminate complex economic and political relations and their spatiality.
