In what ways are cities central to the evolution of contemporary
global capitalism? And in what ways is global capitalism forged by
the urban experience? This book provides a response to these
questions, exploring the multifaceted dimensions of the
city-capitalism nexus. Drawing on a wide range of conceptual
approaches, including political economy, neo-institutionalism and
radical political theory, this insightful book examines the complex
relationships between contemporary capitalist cities and key forces
of our times, such as globalization and neoliberalism. Taking a
truly global perspective, Ugo Rossi offers a comparative analysis
of the ways in which urban economies and societies reflect and at
the same time act as engines of global capitalism. Ultimately, this
book shows how over the past three decades capitalism has shifted a
gear no longer merely incorporating key aspects of society into its
system, but encompassing everything, including life itself and
illustrates how cities play a central role within this
life-oriented construction of global capitalism.
