High-value labor power – highly skilled or in-demand workers – can command landscapes commensurate with their status and needs; while easily reproducible (or interchangeable) labor power – low skilled, often racially, or ethnically marginalized workers – are able to command far less. Even so, their needs must be met – a landscape must be produced for them too in which goods and services are made available. These days, that is often a landscape of dollar stores, food pantries, low-overhead markets (with little fresh food), acres of parking, all on the edges of town (or in declining inner suburbs). Exactly the sort of landscapes that Martha Schwartz bemoans as ugly are also deeply functional for American Capitalism.
