A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
Structural injustice takes the form not of inequality and exclusion (the ambit of relational domination), but of the actors’ incapacity to control the institutions through which the constitutive dynamic of the social system is enacted. This translates as their impotency to affect the “rules of the game” or alter the systemic logic. This is the case because their very integration into society depends on these structures, which in turn affects the actor’s understanding of his or her short-term interest and political orientation.
Capitalism on Edge
Albena Azmanova;
We not only see ourselves through how others see us based on what we consume, but we see ourselves through experience, regardless of how that experience complements or detracts from the wider social context in which we operate. The ideological impact of consumer capitalism is thus extended by a move away from the momentary consumption of products towards the more intensive and extended process of consuming a number of products and services, experientially.
The Experience Society
Steven Miles

Stone Age Economics
Marshall Sahlins and David Graeber
