Marxist geographers are scholars who apply the ideas of Karl Marx to the study of space, place, and the environment. They analyze how economic systems, particularly capitalism, shape geographical landscapes and social relations. This approach emphasizes the role of power dynamics and class struggles in understanding spatial inequalities. These geographers often focus on issues like urban development, land use, and environmental justice. By examining how resources are distributed and who benefits from them, Marxist geographers aim to reveal the underlying social and economic forces that influence geographical patterns and human experiences.
