- Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City — In brief, the right to the city is the right to the production of a city. The labor of a worker is the source of most of the value of a commodity that is expropriated by the owner. The worker, therefore, has a right to benefit from that value denied to them. In the same way, the urban citizen produces and reproduces the city through their own daily actions. However, the the city is expropriated from the urbanite by the rich and the state. The right to the city is therefore the right to appropriate the city by and for those who make and remake it.

mafia?
it was all over italy according to the video but it is fishy
not sure how this aspiration for Circular Economy can only be satisfied by this new system. the usual dodgy comparisons to regular currencies were slipped in the video too. blockchainy things are notoriously easy to trace so not sure if it could be used for money laundering.
seems more like a trade group than a significant fintech endeavour but it's been going for almost 15 years so they've kept under the authorities radar so far
The mafia is still very strong in Italy.
