Title: The city as growth machine
Review: Logan and Molotch use the explanation of the city through the tension that exists between owners who see the city as exchange value and the residents who see the city as use value. According to the authors, the local elites are associated with politicians and local media to generate a coalition, whose speech is that the results of their actions will benefit everyone. Such discourse is needed to operate the "growth engine", transforming the city and its value in use of all, the exchange value of a few.
