Wasn't the dissolution of classical economics by marginalism based on the
critique of fixed identities?  Instead of classes fixed by relations of
production, we find that workers can become entrepreneurs by the
investment in human capital and  entrepreneurs are  utility
maximizing consumers in the determination of their technological mixes.
Instead of classes, we find a multiplicity of identities which each agent,
regardless of her class, assumes  in her  daily interaction. The social
landscape is levelled so that multiple identities, available to all, can
blossom.
