Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economic causes: it is not due simply to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks

The extracted knowledge is transmuted into further knowledge through theory, leading to what we might tentatively call a capitalist/academic mode of knowledge production, wherein the research subjects are alienated from their own knowledges. It is fruitful to pursue the analogy further and more precisely, which I do not do here. For example, academic publications here act as the money form, in which the exchange values of the produced knowledges are congealed. Whereas publications are not fungible in an exact sense, each carries a relative symbolic value which measures the exchange value of each paper, used to communicate to other academics the worth of the produced knowledge, without being able to understand or judge the content (use-value) of the paper on their own. These papers cannot be exchanged per se, but the theories that they produce, which have relative value measured by publication prestige and citations, is then used (exchanged) to produce further knowledges

What Harvey objects to – and what he posits against value – is not that money represents value and circulates commodities, but that one can hold on to it

This is a profound psychological violence here. How can one even begin to speak of dignity in labour when one secretly feels one's job should not exist? How can it not create a sense of deep rage and resentment

In capitalism, this is precisely what is not supposed to happen. Sure, in the old inefficient socialist states like the Soviet Union, where employment was considered both a right and a sacred duty, the system made up as many jobs as they had to (this is why in Soviet department stores it took three clerks to sell a piece of meat)

Again, an objective measure is hard to find, but one easy way to get a sense is to ask: what would happen were this entire class of people to simply disappear?

You can see it when tabloids whip up resentment against tube workers for paralysing London during contract disputes: the very fact that tube workers can paralyse London shows that their work is actually necessary, but this seems to be precisely what annoys people

From a religious point of view, the community expects to divide its resources into multiple “funds”, from which it makes purchases or reserves resources for later:

The vaccines must be used within several hours after they are unsealed.

Minister of administrative reform and of coronavirus vaccines Taro Kono has urged local governments to use up the vaccines without disposing of them by finding someone new to vaccinate, but local government officials are at a loss as to how to prioritize who gets the leftover vaccines.

As the administration of coronavirus vaccines has begun for older adults in Japan, there have been a series of cases in which local government bodies have disposed of leftover doses of the vaccines, due to people canceling their vaccination appointments.

The indenture recruitment method authorised employers to utilise enforceable, written labour contracts. Malayan planters either engaged the services of one of the labour recruitment firms in Nagapattinam or Madras, or sent their own agents to south India to recruit labourers directly. The agents advanced money to individuals wanting to migrate to Malaya, the advance being conditional on the intending migrants signing a contract on arrival in the country. The migrants were then considered to be under indenture to their employers for a fixed period, varying from three to five years (reduced to three years after 1904).
