Abstract: Abstract Most socio-economic argument presumes that Market is always in one-to-one correspondence with a mercantifer. As a result, a seamless transition can be made between the two so that true statements about Market are also true statements about mercantifers.1 In economic discourse, examples of market places or market times are repeatedly used to illustrate theoretical arguments and to give them a sense of factual relevance. However, we can make no such supposition and can employ no such narrative device.
