Something tells me it's a bit worse for the "consolidated account" than for the prostitute. The prostitute still represents a kind of natural economy: presumably her customer looks to her for the satisfaction of a "natural" sexual need. In the context of the market, we must ready ourselves to satisfy needs that the market itself has created and which may have no "natural" foundation at all.
