Building Capitalism: Historical Change and the Labour Process in the Production of the Built Environment

By Linda Clarke

Book Overview

Building Capitalism represents an exploration of the nature of urbanization and capitalism. Linda Clarke argues that urbanization is a product of human labour engaged in building as well as a concentration of the labour force; that the quality of the labour process determines the development of production, and that, consequently, changes to the built environment reflect changes in the production process and, in particular, the development of wage labour.
