| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | Marglin dissects the ways in which the foundational assumptions of economics justify a world in which individuals are isolated from one another and social connections are impoverished as people define themselves in terms of how much they can afford to consume.
