Money could not be converted into capital if wage labour did not exist.

The freedom to make and remake our cities and ourselves is, I want to argue, one of the most precious yet most neglected of our human rights.

David Harvey 57 quotes

When money functions as measu...

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

David Harvey 57 quotes

The capacity to transform its...

The capacity to transform itself from the inside makes capitalism a somewhat peculiar beast - chameleon-like, it perpetually changes it colour; snake-like, it periodically sheds its skin.

David Harvey 57 quotes

The main substantive achievem...

The main substantive achievement of neoliberalism has been to redistribute rather than to generate wealth and income.

David Harvey 57 quotes

The net effect of increasing ...

The net effect of increasing scale, centralization of capital, vertical integration and diversification within the corporate form of enterprise has been to replace the 'invisible hand' of the market by the 'visible hand' of the managers.

The net worth of the 358 richest people in the world was then found to be 'equal to the combined income of the poorest 45 per cent of the worlds population - 2.3 billion people.

David Harvey 57 quotes

The geographical movement of ...

The geographical movement of money and commodities as capital is not the same as the movements of products and of precious metals. Capital is, after all, money used in a certain way, and is by no means identical with all money uses.

David Harvey 57 quotes

Capitalists behave like capit...

Capitalists behave like capitalists wherever they are. They pursue the expansion of value through exploitation without regard to the social consequences.

David Harvey 57 quotes

Individual capitalists, in sh...

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

David Harvey 57 quotes

People must get active; go outside; get moving. This is a crucial time. You know, massive wealth and capital haven't budged one bit, so far. We have to give it a huge push if we want to see something different in our society. We need to create mechanisms and forms of organization which reflect the needs and wants of society as a whole, not just a privileged-oligarchic class of individuals.

David Harvey 57 quotes

Individual capitalists, in sh...

Individual capitalists, in short, necessarily act in such a way as to de-stabilize capitalism.

David Harvey 57 quotes

The accumulation of capital and misery go hand in hand, concentrated in space.

David Harvey 57 quotes

The right to the city is far ...

The right to the city is far more than the individual liberty to access urban resources: it is a right to change ourselves by changing the city.

David Harvey 57 quotes

Cities begin to use cultural ...

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.

David Harvey 57 quotes

The common-sense notion that ...

The common-sense notion that 'there is a time and a place for everything' gets carried into a set of prescriptions which replicate the social order by assigning social meanings to spaces and times.

David Harvey 57 quotes

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

David Harvey 57 quotes

Marx set out to resolve the contradictions and to correct the errors in classical political economy. In this he thought he had succeeded very well. Judging by the sound and the fury of the controversy surrounding his interpretations, he either succeeded too well or deluded himself to the success of his enterprise.

There's a difference between an outburst of spontaneous anger, which doesn't have a political objective, and a more measured response that we saw in the Occupy Wall Street movement.

David Harvey 57 quotes

If Occupy Wall Street can see their way to more collaboration with the union movement, then there will be a great deal of political action possible.
