CAPITALISM IN THE PUBLIC REALM is an ongoing critical research and art production platform by Anne Katrine Senstad
Money is that materially existing concept, a vast system of common interest and mutual dependence formed among great people, a self-propelling life of the dead, which moves hither and thither, blind and elemental, and, like a wild animal, it stands in constant need of being tamed and kept under control.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, The Jena lectures 1802-03
