Social systems

Excerpt from Social Systems: Essays on Their Persistence and Change

Like all teachers the author owes a great debt to his many students, past and present, whose reactions tacitly but reliably convey to the would-be author such messages as unsound, amplify, throw out, clarify, as well as the occasional nod of approval. The author is indeed grateful for the scrutiny of his own evolving ideas by many fine minds. May their possessors be assured that salutary comments are as welcome now as they once were in the classroom.
