Linda Clarke

Building Capitalism (Routledge Revivals)

Historical Change and the Labour Process in the Production of Built Environment

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1992, this Routledge Revival sees the reissue of a truly original exploration of the nature of urbanization and capitalism. Linda Clarke's vital work argues that: * Urbanization is a product of the social human labour engaged in building as well as a concentration of the labour force. * The quality of the labour process determines the development of production. * Changes to the built environment reflect changes in the production process and, in particular, the development of wage labour.
