The book insinuates that meritocracy in a post-capitalist society would end bartering for sex in favor some some amorphous direct affection. Here, in proposing solutions to crude sexual dynamics, we see a flaw in Marxist theory, namely its materialist focus. It does not see social status and social hierarchy as a means of crude barter for sex (after all any non-capitalist hierarchy must be just right? /sarcasm), nor does it seem to acknowledge the possibility of social status being a barter for sex at all. | The book insinuates that meritocracy in a post-capitalist society would end bartering for sex in favor some some amorphous direct affection.
