But I think that the notion of a market-based "solidarity", of which we're largely unconscious, confuses the issue. Solidarity as such just <i>is</i> the feeling of -- or the <i>desire</i> for the feeling of -- being immersed in a larger social whole (being a part of "something larger than oneself" is often how it's expressed). And I'd suggest that this desire has emerged in modern times as a symptom of a larger reaction to the emergence of the modern individual, stripped of the unconscious immersion in the collective that characterizes traditional societies.
