"[...] Can we do without fetishism? Or rather, is fetish an object? Suppose it were not just an object, but the first image of a transaction, the first figure of an exchange that is as necessary as it is desirable? Would this not provide a whole new fund of nuances and ambiguities for our analyses of goods and consumption?[...]" (part of cover text)
