answer to Luke R.

he writes And, AGF Id would appreciate your feedback on this:  By the way
getting back to Boles response, would you say the WORLD SYSTEM is Society?

thanks for asking.

maybe, if you want to use the society word/concept, so there would be only
ONE society, which makes some sense since no one can say where one society
ends and another begins. But  we are not obliged to use the society word.
Confession: I am less and less inclined to speak of  the world system, and
to say [only] world instead. At least that was the cASE AS i WAS WRITING
rEoRIENT [sorry for caps] and found myself leaving out the system word
as I went/got futher along in the Ms.
