This is a great book about how our capitalist economy was very much designed. It's cited heavily in Graeber's Toward an Anthropological Theory of Value and supports his general push revealed by the quote in Adam Curtis' docuseries Can't Get You Out of My Head: "The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something we make. And could just as easily make differently."
