The sordid link between #politicians and #construction and how a #financial #feedbackLoop is generated between the two is an important take-away from the interview.
The #constructionIndustry often depends on a kind of #corruption or #collusion.
It goes back to how #NewYork itself was largely built with #Mafia connections, and their ability to #exploitMigrantLabour. This collision continues into today and is why #democracy in #planning is so important.
Thanks #DavidGraeber, great #interview!
