trade is the reduction and quantification of the world to commodity equivalence.. the leveler of quality, skill, and concrete labour to numerical units that can be measured by time and money, by clocks and gold.. what sets the is abstract quantified world in motion is competition.. the struggle for self preservation on the market place.. capitalism, the domain of competition par excellence.. has is fair share of violence, plunder, piracy and enslavement; but in the normal course of events its mode of self reservation is a quiet process fo economic cannibalization.. the devouring of one capitalist by another and the ever greater centralization of capital in fewer hands..
