%T What does Marx mean by the ?fetishism of commodities??
%X The present paper aims to analyse Marx?s concept of ?fetishism of commodities? by explaining the mechanism of a social genesis of determined illusions, arising in the sphere of production and circulation of commodities. It highlights the existence of an auto-sustained autarkic system of 4 variables ? reification, objectification, duplicity and habit - sustaining and leading to the fetishism of commodities.
