__The labor of making particular forms of markets is also the labor of politics. It is about power.__ Attempts to teach the poor of Cairo to budget their time and money with more streamlined methods resembling those of capitalist forms, and to learn accounting, ‘the language of business’ (Davidson, Schindler and Weil, 1982), are more than ethnographic anomalies. They are attempts to reshape the nature of power and subjectivity. (Elyachar, 2005: 24)
