<nettime> something about nothing

[John Hopkins <jhopkins@neoscenes.net>]

"Without cash in a market society, you’re free to do nothing, to have very 
little, and to die young. In other words, under capitalism, money is the right 
to have rights. ... The gap between what people earn and the cost of their 
freedoms means that, for more and more Americans, freedom is just another word 
for nothing they can afford."

 -- Patel, Raj (2009). "The value of nothing : how to reshape market society 
and redefine democracy." New York: Picador.
