“Commodities
therefore a mysterious thing, simply because in [them] the social character of
men’s labour appears to them as an objective character stamped upon the product
of that labour; because the relation of the producers to the sum total of their
own labour is presented to them as a social relation, existing not between
themselves, but between the products of their labour” (Marx, 1967, 320). This
theory of commodity fetishism is correct because from our project we found out that
student with very little finance who have never met the celebrity’s but they
are willing to pay large sums of money for their product and more interestingly
from our research we found out that consumers don’t pay to see celebrity’s for
their good company but rather for economic status. This shows celebrity’s does
affect individual choices.
