ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the links between inter-class conflict and the geography of production and circulation. In discussing inter-class conflict the chapter focuses on three classes: landlords, capitalists and workers. Furthermore, it examines inter-class conflict in terms of the three possible pairs of conflicts: workers versus capitalists, workers versus landlords, and landlords versus capitalists. The chapter examines the effect of property relations on the production-based model by focusing on the consequences of collective ownership of property. The first type of worker-capitalist conflict is the struggle over income and real consumption levels. Parallelling the definitions of class, there are three different forms in which worker-landlord struggle can be manifest: over levels of rent charged, over the condition and control of housing property, and over the ownership of private property. The chapter recognizes three types of conflict between capitalists and landowners: over rental levels, over the conditions of tenure and over the ownership of land itself.
