'In capital...we have the complete mystification of the capitalist mode of prduction, the conversion of social relations into things, the direct coalescence of the material production relations with the historical and social determination. It is an enchanted, perverted, topsy-turvy world, in which Monsieur le Capital and Madame la Terre do their ghost-walking as social characters and at the same time directly as mere things.' (Capital III, p. 830 in the Int'l Publishers ed.)
