This comes from an academic article on the current financial crisis.
"A crise atual demonstra a complexidade do capitalismo e que as análises sobre a realidade não devem seguir um padrão ideológico presente na ideia de equilíbrio natural dos mercados. Na verdade o mercado é o grande capital. Deixá-lo livre é dar liberdade ao capital."

[the market is] Capital with a capital "C" - capital in its truest form
Furthermore Capital, which is at once a name for a social relation between workers and capitalists, for the instruments of production owned by a capitalist, and for the money-equivalent of his instruments and « intangibles, » does not produce anything more than ... The mysterious power of Capital, its « power » to produce, its virility, does not reside in itself, but in the fact that people alienate their creative activity, that they sell their labor to capitalists, that they materialize or reify their alienated labor in commodities. In other words, people are bought with the products of their own activity, yet they see their own activity as the activity of Capital, and their own products as the products of Capital. By attributing creative power to Capital and not to their own activity, they renounce their living activity, their everyday life, to Capital, which means that people give themselves, daily, to the personification of Capital, the capitalist.
