a: economist ~
b: blind man
What:
" Like the fetishist, the Western explorer and his inheritors-the anthropologist, the psychoanalyst, and the economist-are like the blind man who defines the elephant as a snake because all he has felt is the trunk. And while anthropologists at least recognize the fetish as a complex and multiple phenomenon, both psychoanalysis and Marxism not only reduce the notion of the fetish, but require the concept of reduction itself as a precondition of desire and objectification"
