In fact, not only did Barclays
allow aggressive traders into its dark pool, but it wooed them with perks that gave them a competitive edge over traditional traders.
As capital moves freely, investing in production or in fictitious forms of capitalism, and as speculators, financier capitalists, stock and bond
traders, investment bankers, hedge fund mangers, and others help to unleash the forces of capital accumulation globally, and as neo-liberalism with its
aggressive pro-market state policies
allows this finance capital to restructure itself, to diversify its forms, to expand its accumulation opportunities through the growth of retail, financial and service industries, and enhance its global reach, then it is safe to assume that our ecosystems have been harnessed exploitatively in a system of capitalist commodity production such that we can not talk about capitalism at all without talking about capitalism as a world ecology.
