Production-Market-Consumption

I would like to discuss with my essay about production-market-consumption that Tania Li
presents in her book Land’s End (2014). I will detail more about how the Highlanders adopted
and developed the market system. I will also approach how Tania Murray Li attempts in some
way to prevent the Highlanders, a society without capitalism, from falling into the same
consequences and problems of a society immersed in this system. In order to prevent the
Highlanders from becoming the market model as the only way to survive and achieve the
desired improvements.
Thus, Li states at the beginning of her book that the Highlanders knew the market system well,
but they did not accept it pleasantly because they had access to land. I will then examine how
it was almost inevitably the Highlanders themselves who saw the market system as their only
source of ‘progress’ and found no other way out—consequently, a transformation of their
freedom into a possession.
