[Foucault-L] Proof check in Order of Things

Hi

I'm reading The Routledge Classics 2002 first published, 2nd reprint for 2006 copy of Order of Things.

On page 227, Chapter 6: Exchanging, Section VIII Desire and Reproduction, lines 14-16 it states

"Language is simply the representation of words; nature is simply the representation of words; need is simply the representation of need."

Surely the 'need' in bold is a proof typo? Shouldn't it be 'wealth'?

Anyone enlighten me?

all the best
