If all money capital invests in appropriation and none in actual production, then capitalism is not long for this world.

Cities begin to use cultural production as a way to market their city as being unique and special. Of course, the problem with this is that much of culture is very easy to replicate. The uniqueness begins to disappear. Then, we have what I call the "Disneyfication" of society.

Individual capitalists, in short, behave in such a way as to threaten the conditions that permit the reproduction of the capitalist class.

The invocation of social necessity should alert us. It contains the seeds for Marx's critique of political economy as well as for his dissection of capitalism.

What kind of city we wish to build should reflect our personal wishes and needs.

When money functions as measure of value it must truly represent the values it helps to circulate.

Technological change can become 'fetishized' as a 'thing in itself', as an exogenous guiding force in the history of capitalism.
