David Harvey Quotations

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.

Rampant inflation is just as hard to live with as the devaluation of commodities.

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

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

Because the earth is not a product of labour it cannot have a value.

But planned obsolescence is possible only if the rate of technological change is contained.

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

The ultimate Form of devaluation is military confrontation and global war.

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

Money must exist before it can be turned into capital.
