Capitalism introduces a historically unique insecurity at the most fundamental level of social reproduction, and for this reason the state has to assume the task of administering the life of the population. __Since the aim of capitalist production is the accumulation of wealth in its monetary form rather than the fulfilment of human needs, capitalist production frequently leads to the undermining of the life of the workers on whose lives it ultimately depends.__

Mute Compulsion

Søren Mau

Although making markets and installing market-mimicking devices into the coordination of public services are certainly significant, the increase of market discourse has been at least as significant in terms of constructing people and organisations as economic agents, and as a way of circulating market imagery in political and popular discourse. In the process, we have seen that the binary distinction between state and market obscures the multiple ways in which markets, market-like mechanisms and market imagery have been deployed in reform programmes.
