• Our whole culture is based on the appetite for buying, on the idea of a mutually favorable exchange. .... For the man an attractive girl - and for the woman an attractive man - are the prizes they are after.

Two persons thus fall in love when they feel they have found the best object available on the market, considering the limitations of their own exchange values.
