"Establishing economic value requires the disvaluing of all other forms of social existence. Disvalue transmogrifies skills into lack, commons into resources, men and women into commodified labour, tradition into burden, wisdom into ignorance, autonomy into dependency. It transmogrifies people’s autonomous activities embodying wants, skills, hopes and interactions with one another, and with the environment, into needs whose satisfaction requires the mediation of the market."
