Notes

  • Financial Instruments and Legal Titles: Debt contracts, derivatives, bonds, stock certificates, and intellectual property regimes that create artificial scarcity and enforce value transfer.[1]
  • Property and Resource Claims: Titles to land, housing, mineral rights, and water rights that enable rent extraction and enclosure.[2]
  • Extraction Infrastructure: Banking networks, trading floors, tax havens, data centers, and logistical systems that facilitate the concentration of surplus.
  • Coercive Assets: Where extraction meets resistance, the physical means of suppression—prisons, detention facilities, and militarized borders[3]
