Capitalism as objectification

One of the chief processes of capitalism is objectification, and capitalism is nothing without objectification, since capital is an object and it abstracts activities from one multiplicity of objects (and for "human" purposes) into a greater multiplicity of objects: as in turning a simple horse-ride at a farm into uncounted quantifications, a fear greater number than the few quantifications of the horse owner's business before it entered the official capitalist market.
