Portuguese term or phrase: excessivamente simpático ao capital
This is a text by an art critic on artist Milton Machado and his work ‘History of the Future’. The particular phrase comes towards the beginning of the text and I'm having problems finding the right words. Thanks for your help!

Caso desejemos colocar as coisas no seu tempo e espaço, História do Futuro começou a ser gestada em dias nos quais a cidade do Rio via (e sofria) mais uma vez com a aceleração de um crescimento espacial desordenado e ***excessivamente simpático ao capital*** – diferente, mas não de todo estranho ao que ainda hoje nos assola.
