"This cycle, according to Marx, constitutes a “bad infinity” that points to a different kind of hell for all of us — a spiral of endless expansion, at a compound rate, of capital accumulation no matter what the environmental, social, or political consequences. The central power behind this spiral is the circulation of interest-bearing capital"

"Once the assumption that 'everything exchanges at its value' is dropped, a very different picture of how capital accumulation works emerges. Accumulation rests on 'rational consumption' — rational, that is, in relation to capital accumulation."
