unless society was somehow subordinated to its 
     requirements. A market economy can exist only in a 
     market society. We reached this conclusion on general 
     grounds in our analysis of the market pattern. We can 
     now specify the reasons for this assertion. A market 
     economy must comprise all elements of industry, 
     including labor, land, and money. (In a market economy 
     the last also is an essential element of industrial life and 
     its inclusion in the market mechanism has, as we will see, 
     far-reaching institutional consequences.) But labor and 
     land are no other than the human beings themselves of 
     which every society consists and the natural surroundings 
     in which it exists. To include them in the market 
     mechanism means to subordinate the substance of 
     society itself to the laws of the market.
