and i would say that social relations start that way in many cases and the idea that there is a separate space of "economic" activity is a strange one.
take this hypothetical barter relation. A has something and for whatever reason is able to persuade B that this something is a pretty swell something and that this something can be had by B in exchange for another something that A might want or need. So there's a back and forth about which somethings are involved, what seems fair, etc. This whole relation, all phases of it, seems to me a social interaction.
is there a place within this scenario that an economic relation stops and starts?
or would the scenario have to be written differently for there to be one?
