Building Capitalism (Routledge Revivals)

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.
