Can we treat identity in the late stage capitalism, as a commodity?

It seems that the identities a person acquires in life share the same mechanisms of market commodities, and that commodities and brands are becoming part of our identity. Can we treat identity in the late stage capitalism, as a commodity by itself?

Class is a form of identity that is not (necessarily) tied to wealth but grants social opportunity and a level of status within a society that be viewed as a non-fungible commodity (a useful and/or valuable thing). Class can and does supervene on other aspects of identity such as religion, race/ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, and gender identification. 

The British-Ghanaian philosopher and law professor Kwame Anthony Appiah explores this in some of his works. *See* “The Lies That Bind Us.”
