Matthew Desmond
“The rent eats first.”
Matthew Desmond, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

Mark Fisher
“The relationship between capitalism and eco-disaster is neither coincidental nor accidental: capital’s ‘need of a constantly expanding market’, its ‘growth fetish’, mean that capitalism is by its very nature opposed to any notion of sustainability.”
Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative?

Matthew Desmond
“No one thought the poor more undeserving than the poor themselves.”
Matthew Desmond, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

Jessica Bruder
“The last free place in America is a parking spot.”
Jessica Bruder, Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century

Jessica Bruder
“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops,” reflected the late writer Stephen Jay Gould.”
Jessica Bruder, Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century
