ALIENATION

"The worker becomes an ever cheaper commodity the more commodities he creates. With the increasing value of the world of things proceeds in direct proportion the devaluation of the world of men...the realisation of labour appears as a loss of reality for the worker...The alienation of the worker in his product means not only that his labour becomes an object, an external existence, but that it exists outside him,,, and the life that he has conferred on it confronts him as something hostile and alien"- Karl Marx 1967
