David Harvey
- capitalism is tied to location and built environment (p. 86)
"Symbiotic relationship between the urban and capital will have given some strong clues as to why some form of state intervention is land and property is required. Thre are basically two reasons. The first is that capitalism cannot provide all of the conditions that it needs to continue. In particular, infrastructure such as roads, bridges etc. are not commodities like land or labour that can be bought asn dold because they involve a great deal of capital investment with little or no return. Other services and commodities such as parks, refuse collection and low-cost housing also fall into this category." (p.89)
