Out of which all possible things might be owned as something called property.

The principle structuring these relations, the principle of principles, would be a dizzying carousel of that which they all hold in common: circulation, revolution, giving and taking, always revolving and returning; a regulated and measured circuit of goods moving like the sun as it goes up goes down.

Exchange, property, property, exchange.
