Abstract Developed largely by Marxist geographer David Harvey, the concept of the “spatial fix” has been central to efforts to theorize uneven development under capitalism. The term refers to how capitalists seek to make the economic geography of capitalism in certain ways, either to facilitate accumulation or to try to temporarily address crises of overaccumulation by spatially and/or temporally displacing these crises. Significantly, in recent years labor geographers have adopted and adapted the concept, arguing that workers also have a vested interest in ensuring that capitalism's economic landscapes are made in some ways and not in others.
