This week Madeleine Bunting will mostly be worrying about sex:

"We have absorbed so deeply the logic of market capitalism that it has infected every form of human interaction; the language we use to describe intimacy says it all. We talk of "investing" in our relationships; we have transferred the language of business - our "partner" - to the bedroom".

Speak for yourself, love. Only the other night me and the wife went into a smoked-filled room, and, after several hours of meaningful dialogue, sustained by copious amounts of beer and sandwiches we returned with a composite resolution that, by a show of hands, was put to the floor and passed unanimously.
The rest is history.
