He argued that under capitalism, <strong>labour is commodified<\/strong>, meaning workers sell their labour power for wages, losing control over both the work process and its outcomes. This leads to <strong>alienation<\/strong>, where workers become disconnected from the product, the process, their fellow workers, and ultimately themselves. He also emphasized that <strong>land<\/strong> becomes a commodity controlled by the bourgeoisie, contributing to the <strong>class divide<\/strong> between those who own the means of production and those who do not.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong> Karl Polanyi <\/strong>introduced the idea of <strong>&#8220;fictitious commodities&#8221;<\/strong>, referring to land, labour, and money, which were never meant to be bought or sold. He argued that <strong>market society disembedded the economy from social life<\/strong>, leading to a breakdown in social relations and cohesion. For Polanyi, the commodification of land and labour results in <strong>social disintegration<\/strong>, prompting society to initiate a <strong>counter-movement<\/strong> in the form of protests, legislation, and social protections to restore balance between market forces and human needs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong> A.R.
