He really explained a lot about the current subservience of EVERYTHING to business interests, through the lens of Marxist economic geography (using NYC as a case study basically of how neoliberal economics affects change in the urban landscape). Here is a great interview with him which goes into greater depth, and talks about his latest book, “A Brief History of Neo-Liberalism”.
