Mandeville’s thinking drives at the very essence of humanity. We are each subsumed by vanity, though it is a vanity necessary in order to grease the wheels of society. We cannot afford to lead state of nature lives; now more than ever we are bound to consume. This καταναλωτική κοινωνία is bound by us, and by our vanity.
