Merchandization is a critical term coined by the anti-globalization movement to designate the process of change in viewpoint of individuals or society towards an object, service or substance. Things that were formerly thought of as "simply being there", are now being thought of as commodities for sale and corporate profit. This change in viewpoint is called merchandization of an object. For example, anti-globalization and anti-capitalism activists claim that in today's society, many things, including health care, culture, and education, are becoming mere merchandise.

dbo:abstract
  • La mercantilització és, en economia, el procés de transformació de béns i serveis en mercaderies comercialitzables amb finalitats de lucre. És a dir, quan el valor de canvi dels objectes preval sobre el seu valor d'ús. El valor d'ús dels objectes és aquell que es deriva de la seva capacitat per satisfer les necessitats humanes dels subjectes, mentre que el seu valor de canvi és la quantitat de diners necessaris per adquirir els objectes. Segons Karl Marx, el qual va teoritzar sobre el «fetitxisme de la mercaderia» a El capital (1867), el procés de mercantilització del capitalisme avança convertint fins i tot la força de treball, el temps de vida i els recursos naturals en mercaderies en mans de la burgesia especuladora. El moviment antiglobalització ha criticat la mercantilització i defensa que els serveis de salut i educació i la terra existeixin com a finalitats en si mateixes i no com a mitjà per obtenir uns guanys. Per exemple, l'anticapitalisme implica la denúncia del fet que, en la societat contemporània, aspectes com el treball de cures, la cultura, l'educació i l'habitatge, s'estan convertint en una mera mercaderia. A manera d'exemple, un dels eslògans d'ATTAC és «El món no és una mercaderia». (ca)
  • La mercantilización es el proceso de transformación de bienes y servicios en mercancías comercializables con fines de lucro. Es decir que el valor de cambio de los objetos prevalece sobre su valor de uso. El valor de uso de los objetos es aquel que se deriva de su capacidad para satisfacer necesidades humanas, mientras que su valor de cambio es la cantidad de dinero por la que se puede intercambiarlos para adquirir otros bienes y servicios. El proceso de mercantilización del capitalismo avanza convirtiendo incluso el trabajo humano, el tiempo y los recursos naturales en mercaderías con precio de mercado. Karl Marx escribió sobre el fetichismo de la mercancía en El capital (1867). El movimiento antiglobalización critica la mercantilización y defiende que los servicios de salud y educación, las actividades culturales y la tierra existan como fines en sí mismos y no como medio para obtener ganancias. Por ejemplo, los movimientos anti-globalización y anti-capitalismo implican un reclamo por parte de sus activistas por el hecho de que en la sociedad actual muchas cosas, incluyendo el cuidado de la salud, la cultura y la educación, se están convirtiendo en una mera mercancía. A modo de ejemplo, uno de los eslóganes de ATTAC es "El mundo no es una mercancía" (en francés, "Le monde n'est pas une marchandise").​​ (es)
  • Merchandization is a critical term coined by the anti-globalization movement to designate the process of change in viewpoint of individuals or society towards an object, service or substance.

For example, anti-globalization and anti-capitalism activists claim that in today's society, many things, including health care, culture, and education, are becoming mere merchandise. Marx discussed this "fetishism of commodities" in the nineteenth century. Political Economy has indeed analysed, however incompletely, value and its magnitude, and has discovered what lies beneath these forms. But it has never once asked the question why labour is represented by the value of its product and labour time by the magnitude of that value. These formulæ, which bear it stamped upon them in unmistakable letters that they belong to a state of society, in which the process of production has the mastery over man, instead of being controlled by him, such formulæ appear to the bourgeois intellect to be as much a self-evident necessity imposed by Nature as productive labour itself. Hence forms of social production that preceded the bourgeois form, are treated by the bourgeoisie in much the same way as the Fathers of the Church treated pre-Christian religions. . . . . Could commodities themselves speak, they would say: Our use value may be a thing that interests men. It is no part of us as objects. What, however, does belong to us as objects, is our value. Our natural intercourse as commodities proves it. In the eyes of each other we are nothing but exchange values. — Karl Marx, Das Kapital, volume one, part I.1.4 In other words, something may have usefulness, but it has no value unless it can be exchanged in the marketplace for something else considered to have value. That value may come because it fills a need through consumption or being further exchanged. In this way, labor, time, and natural resources have come to serve the market instead of the other way around. The slogan of ATTAC is "the World is not Merchandise" (le monde n'est pas une marchandise). (en)
