Seeing Like a State (1998) - James C. Scott

This quote was added by knocktwice
A​ ​market​ ​necessarily​ ​reduces​ ​quality​ ​to​ ​quantity​ ​via​ ​the​ ​price​ ​mechanism​ ​and​ ​promotes standardization;​ ​in​ ​markets,​ ​money​ ​talks,​ ​not​ ​people.​ ​Today,​ ​global​ ​capitalism​ ​is​ ​perhaps​ ​the most​ ​powerful​ ​force​ ​for​ ​homogenization,​ ​whereas​ ​the​ ​state​ ​may​ ​in​ ​some​ ​instances​ ​be​ ​the defender​ ​of​ ​local​ ​difference​ ​and​ ​variety.
