Abercrombie looks at this in detail, relying on various case studies to identify trends in housing, human bodies and book publishing from the mid th century to the late 20 th.
He describes it as a moral resistance to commodification, which many tend to find distasteful or repugnant, though often not for pragmatic reasons. When it comes to the human body, the picture is especially complicated. The selling of bodies, and of body parts, is an old practice, whether for medical research, anthropology or more nefarious purposes. But there has been enormous social and ideological resistance to it. Legally it gets even hazier, because in most countries the human body cannot be considered property and so is not subject to laws involving ownership.
The case of blood donation is an interesting example. Most blood donations worldwide are made as a free gift, unpaid, intended for strangers. According to the World Health Organization WHO , 90 percent of donations in 79 countries are made voluntarily, without payment. Some countries—for instance, Australia, Brazil, United Kingdom—have made it illegal to receive any kind of compensation from the sale of blood or body tissue. On the other hand, a number of countries in , WHO reported 16 do allow blood donations by payment.
While nearly all whole blood is nonetheless obtained by free donation, US pharmaceutical companies attract additional blood donors by offering to pay them. They then separate the plasma and use its proteins in the manufacture of various products. The difference between these two methods of donating is fascinating. The motivation for those selling their blood or plasma is undoubtedly different; but more interestingly, the results are also different.
Blood given as a gift is often better clinically. Studies show that blood taken from unpaid donors is less likely to carry infections. This, according to the rules of capitalism, should not be the case. Competition, freedom of movement, freedom of choice, and unrestrained trade should, according to the theory, produce a better, cheaper and more efficient product.

Roberts was the complete opposite to the vibrant and loud Bowles, who was a resident vocalist at the Kit Kat Klub.
She was determined to seduce him, as he was a challenge after he admitted to three failed relationships behind him.
The unlikely duo became friends and Roberts witnesses Bowles' anarchic, bohemian lifestyle in the years before World War II. In spite of their initial reservations, they become lovers on the basis that previous relationships had failed because they were "the wrong girls". They are sung as part of the cabaret show at the notorious Kit Kat Klub. Based on a book by Joe Masteroff, the film was adapted from a stage musical. The club is a metaphor for ominous political events in Germany and the musical opened on Broadway on 20th November and was a massive hit.
It ran for 1, performances, starring Jill Haworth as Sally. A revival of the Cabaret stage show ran for an amazing 2, performances. The film won eight Academy Awards, including Minnelli's best actress and Joel Grey's best supporting actor awards as the master of ceremonies. Grey reprised his stage role for the film. The movie made a number of changes from the Broadway show, including dropping some of the songs.
In the play, Bowles was British, but she became American in the film. The movie's most famous and iconic scene is when Bowles and the master of ceremonies sing Money Makes the World Go Round. As the title suggests, it's all about how money is vital to creating a good quality of life.
It's sung from the point of view of someone who doesn't have a lot of money, making it more a song of wishful thinking. Bowles dreams of having plenty of money so that if she's ever left by her lover, she can recover on her "carat yacht".
