It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence, but their social existence that determines their consciousness. And yet every age believes the opposite — that it thinks its way into its conditions, rather than being thought by them.

— Karl Marx, A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy (Preface) (1859)
