Harvey specifies seven “moments” within capitalism, where social change arises:
a) technological and organizational forms of production, exchange and consumption
b) relations to nature
c) social relations between people
d) mental conceptions of the world, embracing knowledges and cultural understandings and beliefs
e) labor processes and production of specific goods, geographies, services or affects
f ) institutional, legal and governmental arrangements
g) the conduct of daily life that underpins social reproduction.
Is this the starting-point for a transition? How might we organize to effect change in each of these moments, in contexts which differ widely across the world? Crucially, how might we “keep the political movement moving from one moment to another in mutually reinforcing ways”, which Harvey suggests is the real trick?
