• Thrown down the gauntlet: To challenge, to defy
• The former president seems to have thrown down the gauntlet. (Zahid Hussain-Dawn)
• Imbrication: An overlapping, as of tiles or shingles. 
• Far from being characterized by a growing externality of economy and sociality, capitalism operates through their imbrication: morality, faith, power, and emotion the distinctive qualities of human association, are interiorized into the logic of economy. (Martijn Konings)

• Capitalism, with its unbridled appetite for expansive consumption and the production that feeds it, would be viewed as the core problem. (John A. Mathews)
