This economy has transformed the world, but it has merely transformed it into a world dominated by the economy.
Guy Debord, La société du spectacle §40
Once society discovers that it depends on the economy, the economy in fact depends on the society. When the subterranean power of the economy grew to the point of visible domination, it lost its power. The economic Id must be replaced by the I.
Guy Debord, La société du spectacle §52
