"In essence, we behave as economic actors according to the vision of the world of those who device the accounting conventions. The marginalist theory of value underlying contemporary national accounting systems leads to an indiscriminate attribution of productivity to anyone grabbing a large income and downplays the productivity of the less fortunate. In so doing, it justifies excessive inequalities of income and wealth and turns value extraction into value creation."-Mariana Mazzucato, The Value of Everything: Making and Taking in the Global Economy
