Best wishes, *Dr Krzysztof Nawratek FHEA* <https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/architecture/people/academic/krzysztof-nawratek> *Senior Lecturer in Humanities and Architectural Design* *The University of Sheffield, SSoA* *publications: https://sheffield.academia.edu/KrzysztofNawratek <https://sheffield.academia.edu/KrzysztofNawratek> * *‘Krzysztof Nawratek's book is a thoughtful and provocative piece of work, which is much needed at present. It offers an alternative approach to the current debate on post-capitalism in both critical and urban studies, a messianic one drawing on a number of authors and suggesting what a post-capitalist city could be. A must read for those interested in the future of cities.’* *Camillo Boano*, Professor of Urban Design and Critical Theory, University College London, UK. *‘Krzysztof Nawratek’s excellent study focuses on the richest implications of the city. His vision of the humanized post-capitalism city and its fully efficient agency as a consequence of the “total mobilization” is most impressive.’* *Tingyang Zhao*, Professor of Philosophy at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, China. *‘This book is one of the most interesting I have read on the topic of how the city can be effectively re-claimed as a contemporary inclusive urb. It brings together knowledge, reflection and hope. It is a real page-turner: well written and clever, a book to arm oneself with in the total mobilization for the inclusive post-capitalist city.’* *Professor Monika Kostera*, the Jagiellonian University, Poland, and Linnaeus University, Sweden *‘This book is a thoughtful critique of the contemporary urban condition, and a search for an alternative, post-capitalist urban vision.’* *Professor Ali Madanipour*, Director of the Global Urban Research Unit (GURU) at Newcastle University, UK *In this book Krzysztof Nawratek explores the possibility of a post-capitalist city, and in so doing, reclaims and develops the idea of total mobilisation as originally formulated by Ernst Jünger. Nawratek formulates the idea of ‘accumulation of agency’ the ability to act, to replace the logic of capital accumulation as a main driver of urban development. He argues that this ‘accumulation of agency’ operates already in contemporary cities, and should not be seen as essential element of capitalism, but as a conceptual gateway to a post-capitalist world.* *.* -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens
