representação amadora / leiga


Explanation:
A falta de vivência de uma economia de mercado faz com que o imaginário popupar a represente de forma um tanto falha. Daí decorre o que diz o contexto: a posse de bens materiais torna-se intimamente ligada à representração amadora (ou leiga) do que seja uma economia de mercado.
