In 2014, I was living in my parent’s basement, racked with student loan debt and looking for freelance gigs on craigslist. When I travelled to NYC for interviews I would look up at the skyscrapers. Who lived there? Why were these buildings erected? How was there a shortage of affordable housing and new luxury high-rises going up simultaneously? Of course the simple answer is increasing inequality and runaway capitalism. But, what analysis could explain this development in more specific, current terms, and how could it fit into the framework of poststructuralism?
