The capital order is an invisible framework structuring how needs are met.

Evidence

Let’s consider what my concept, the “capital order,” means exactly. It is an almost invisible framework. It is so foundational to our lives that we rarely question it. Why do we depend on the market to survive? Why is the satisfaction of our needs mediated by money? — Clara E. Mattei, Escape from Capitalism, 51

Categorization

• DEFINE: Definition of the book’s titular ‘invisible order’ — the frame that the rest of the argument hangs on; pairs with the reader’s stated key idea.
• XREF: Echoes the reader’s framing goal: capitalism’s arrangements appearing as natural fact rather than political choice — this is that naturalization named.
