The social relations of capitalism have penetrated slowly into all spheres of life to make wage labour the general condition of existence only in fairly recent times.

Money must exist before it can be turned into capital.

My advice to everybody would be to go out as much as possible and deal with social inequality and environmental degradation because these issues are increasingly prescient.

Perpetual revolutions in technology can mean the devaluation of fixed capital on an extensive scale.

The onset of a crisis is usually triggered by a spectacular failure which shakes confidence in fictitious forms of capital.

If, for example, a conspiratorially minded elite is so powerful, has at its fingertips such multiple and delicate instruments with which to fine-tune accumulation, then how can the periodic headlong slides into crisis be explained?

Monetary relations have penetrated into every nook and cranny of the world and into almost every aspect of social, even private life.
