I recommend a good book, "The Logic of the World"!

Reading it feels like standing on a new high platform to observe the world.

It won't tell you which coin or stock to buy tomorrow,

but it will force you to think: the city I live in every day, the job I work at, and the choices I make as a consumer are themselves products of the contest between political and capital forces.

"The greatest talent of capital lies in its ability to create crises and then profit from them in new ways."

In an era of passive acceptance of narratives, thinking itself is a form of resistance.

This is not a coincidence, but a systematic design.

Behind each "seemingly unexpected" economic shock lies the capital's reallocation and re-exploitation of space, resources, and labor.

Real estate bubble burst?

Financial collapse?

Mass unemployment?

— These have never been mistakes of the capital system; they are its way of breathing.

This perspective is alarming.

In everyday narratives, we are constantly indoctrinated with the illusion that "crises are caused by individual factors," while Harvey reminds us: crises are the norm of capital, an inevitability within order.

Cities are not neutral geographical spaces.

In Harvey's view, cities are far more than mere population gathering places; they are battlegrounds for capital appreciation.

He wrote:

"Urban space is the field of capital's self-reproduction, the trenches of confrontation between domination and resistance."

Behind every skyscraper that rises, every road that is built after demolition, and every instance of soaring land prices, capital is rearranging the spatial order.

Housing has turned into a tool for speculation; public resources have gradually become the privileged territory of a few.

Thus, we gradually live in a "mortgaged" city.

Harvey reminds us: to see space is to see power.

The first step to changing the world is to recognize its logic.

Harvey is not a pessimist. He does not dwell on the pleasure of criticism but continuously questions:

"If capital has the power to transform the world, why can't we?"

Recognizing how capital lays out the world means we can also use another logic to counter that layout.

We can still become creators of history, rather than vassals of capital.

Let us encourage each other...
