- of Boulding's Framework of value exchange by Caruso (see attached): To Boulding, the social system can be divided into three large, overlapping and interacting sub-systems: exchange, threat and integrative system. All human institutions and relationships involve different combinations of all three. Exchange relationships constitute the usual domain of economics. In its simplest form, two parties agree to exchange something with something else, usually money with goods and services. It is commonly understood as a positive sum game in which parties can be better off after the exchange is concluded. However, it still retains co-operative and competitive elements. The threat system, in its simplest form, is also a relationship between two parties and one party is capable to affect the other party behaviour through coercion. It is summarised in the statement: “If you do not do something (or you do) I shall do something nasty to you”. Economic activity is full of examples. It is common sense that an executive can threaten a worker of firing. The government threatens individuals of expropriation if they do not pay taxes, or a state can threaten a tariff retaliation if another state (or a group of states) does not comply with some obligations. The threat system is less productive than exchange systems simply because exchange of goods encourages the production of goods, whereas threat discourages the production of goods. To Boulding, there are several feasible reactions threatened agents can set in response: submission, defiance, counter-threat, flight, and integrative response. Threat systems are pervasive in many human and institutional interactions. Boulding argues that all threat systems experience a basic long-run instability. The well-known threat system of deterrence, therefore, is unstable in the long run2. When a breakdown in deterrence occurs the subsequent outcome could take the shape of submission or defiance. If one party decides to carry out the threat, and the other party also decides to counter-threat a feasible outcome could be the occurrence of a war. By contrast, a more stable response to threat appears to be the integrative action. Using Boulding’s words: “the integrative response is that which establishes community between the threatener and the threatened and produces common values and common interest” (Boulding 1963a: 430). Examples falling into this category of responses are more difficult to find out. It commonly appears mixed with one of the other responses: Gandhi and non-violent resistance, for instance, seem to be a mixture of defiance and integrative response. In international systems a counter-threat response might appear together with an integrative action. The integrative system involves many other different concepts. Among individuals, an integrative relationship involves a complex spectrum of feelings, such as respect, love, affection and so on. It also involves other terms, an integrative system needs a convergence and interdependence of utility functions of parties involved. An example of integrative relationship is giving a gift. To Boulding, by abstracting the pure form of giving a gift, there is neither exchange nor barter. I give you something mainly because of love, affection or sympathy. Even if integrative relationships appear to occur mainly among individuals, they also work within other scenarios. In international interactions, for example, foreign aid flowing from a richer country to a poorer one can be included into integrative systems. Cornerstone of the integrative system is the theory of ‘grants economics’ which is exactly the subject of The Economy of love and Fear (hereafter ELF). In the first two chapter, both micro and macro theories of grants are expounded. In general terms, a grant is supposed to be a unilateral transfer from an individual, a group or a social unit to another. When it occurs, the donor agent does not receive anything in return. In a simple two-actor scenario, it involves the grantor or donor on one hand and the recipient on the other hand. Note the deep difference from the exchange system, where an agent A gives an agent B something for something else. By contrast, a unilateral transfer occurs only when there is an integrative relationship between actors. A powerful example of an integrative system could be considered the modern nation-state. On one hand, states are usually committed to provide grants in different forms to their own citizens; on the other hand, citizens are expected to pay taxes, duties and excises. In particular, “the grants economy represents the heart of political economy, because it is precisely at the level of one-way transfers that the political system intervenes in the economic system” (Boulding et al. 1972: 21). Therefore, the existence of GE is a matter of institutions which inform and govern the economic life of individuals, groups and organizations. Different institutionalized scenarios contribute to shape different economic systems. The existence, the measurement and the classification of grant elements in modern economics ought to be considered as pivotal element in the regular framework of economics. Grants can take different shapes. Grants can be either ‘negative’ or ‘positive’. That is, negative grants imply that the utility of grantee diminish instead of increasing. Using Boulding’s words “Negative grants, unfortunately, are still an important element in the world system, especially in international system where the defense industries of the various countries are mainly concerned with producing the capability of making of negative grants to other countries” (Boulding 1973: 22). Negative grants are costly for both actors. First the ‘negative’ grantor employs an amount of resources that could be employed in productive activities. Secondly, the recipient actor ‘the grantee’, is expected to suffer an injury ===================== More on Boulding's context is explained by John B Davis 1. Locating Boulding’s Critique of Value-free Economics Kenneth Boulding presented his famous “Economics As A Moral Science” paper (Boulding, 1969) that rejected the idea that economics is value-free as his Presidential Address to the American Economic Association in December 1968 at the height of the War in Vietnam. Understanding something about Boulding’s personal history and circumstances will help us to understand what lay behind his thinking. The previous year when he had moved to University of Colorado some members of the University Board of Regents had opposed his appointment because Boulding had been involved in a arranging a teach-in against the War when he was at the University of Michigan. But Boulding said of this: “They thought I was a dangerous radical. Actually, I am a dangerous conservative” (Mott, 2000, p. F436). Indeed, the next year Boulding accepted the post of faculty advisor to the campus Republican club at Colorado, and changed his voter registration to Republican – which he retained until the early 1980s when Ronald Reagan began a new arms build-up, and he then changed his registration to Democratic. So Boulding was not left-wing in his politics nor involved in the radical economics of the time. In fact he was always hostile to Marx’s theory of capitalism and its emphasis on class conflict. What he did feel strongly about was the cause of peace, having become a Quaker early in life, and having been active throughout his career in a variety of ways in the cause of peace. Moreover, he himself saw peace and conflict research as his largest area of work (Boulding, 1989), and regarded his involvement in the founding of the Journal of Conflict Resolution and the International Peace Research Association as important lifetime achievements. This tells us, then, one thing about the thinking behind Boulding’s Address and famous paper and critique of economics, namely, that it did not spring from the radical, Marxist, or neo-Marxist view of the time that standard economics was essentially as an expression of capitalist ideology. Indeed, Boulding was well known in the profession for having written a fairly conventional economics text, Economic Analysis (1941), and he never hesitated to say that economics was a legitimate science. His complaint, rather, was that it had mistakenly come to be seen as a value-freescience when it should rather have been seen as a moral science in the tradition of Adam Smith and Alfred Marshall. Thus the conventional view in the economics profession when he gave his 1968 Address, that economics had advanced by purging values from the subject, was for him a retrograde development and a decline rather than an improvement in the scientific character of economics. Economics was consequently not only a science in his estimation, but a science which could not function properly when investigated without attention to the values that he believed inevitably operated within it. What did he mean by this? A second important clue lies in the fact that Boulding did not believe that economics was exceptional in this regard. His view, then, was also not the well known critique of the idea of a valuefree economics others had recently advanced (e.g., Myrdal, 1953, 1958), namely, that economics and the social sciences in general should be contrasted with the natural sciences in virtue of involving human actors, so that they could be understood without attention to human values. Rather he believed that “no science of any kind can be divorced from ethical considerations” (Boulding, 1960, p. 2). That is, he held that all science is inescapably value-laden. Yet even this view of science does not get us entirely to what was behind Boulding’s thinking, since he also denied that value-ladenness was even something especially characteristic of the scientific process. Rather his larger view was that science was only one dimension of human culture, and that human culture in general was always guided and sustained by values. Science is a human learning process which arises in certain subcultures in human society and not in others, and a subculture as we seen is a group of people defined by acceptance of certain common values, that is, an ethic which permits extensive communication between them”( Ibid.). The common value system of science is indeed distinctive in various ways from the common value systems of other human subcultures. In the sciences, high value is “placed on veracity, on curiosity, on measurement, on quantification, on careful observation and experiment, and on objectivity” without which “the epistemological process of science would not have arisen” ( Ibid.), and the common values of other subcultures, such as the military, were clearly quite different. But for Boulding the main point is that all human activities are types of culture, and thus necessarily valueladen. Culture, he believed, is distinctive of human life, takes on many forms, and is always structured by values appropriate to our activities in the many different domains of life. Thus to understand Boulding’s critique of economics as a moral science and as a value-laden activity we need to understand something about his view of culture. Here, however, we find ourselves needing to look more deeply into the foundations of Boulding’s thinking in connection with his broad systems theory approach or general systems theory way of looking at the world, which represented an intellectual commitment for him equal to his commitment to peace. 2. General Systems Theory and the Impossibility of Personal Tastes From early in his career at the University of Michigan Boulding was first active in a transdisciplinary general systems theory movement that aimed to explain the world in a holistic, non-mechanistic manner in terms of entire systems of relationships. Many people contributed to postwar general systems theory, which is often identified with one of its pre-eminent proponents, Ludwig von Bertalanffy (cf. 1968, 1974; László, 1972). However, Boulding’s involvement in the movement should not be underestimated, since Bertalanffy, Anatol Rapoport, Ralph Gerard, and Boulding together established the Society for General Systems Research in 1954 (renamed the International Society for Systems Science in 1988), and Boulding remained committed to a systems approach throughout his career. The basic conception general systems theory involves is that phenomena in all domains of life are interconnected through sets of relationships that exhibit common patterns and properties that can be observed across the different sciences. The major concern its proponents had was that the different sciences had become too narrowly focused on their separate concerns and subjects, and that greater attention to shared constructs, principles, and properties, even if abstractly represented, would make desirable communication between scientists more possible. This did not imply that all sciences should be reduced to general systems accounts; rather the view was that the different sciences retained their specific areas of investigation while they simultaneously exhibited similar systemic features. Thus general systems theorists argued for framing the specific areas of investigation in different sciences, where possible, by consideration of shared crossscience general structures in the interest of promoting development across and within the different sciences. In this sense, general systems theory was a version of the classic unity of science view that science advances through increasing unification (cf. Oppenheim and Putnam, 1958). Boulding made such an argument in his own early contribution to the approach, “General Systems Theory: The Skeleton of Science,” where he argued, for example, that “a specialist who works with the growth concept – whether the crystallographer, the virologist, the cytologist, the psychologist, the sociologist or the economist – will be more sensitive to the contributions of other fields if he is aware of the many similarities of the growth process in widely different empirical fields” (1956, p. 198). It is interesting, then, that we can see this same point in his American Economics Association Presidential Address in regard to the many subcultures that make up human society. Subcultures are always defined in terms of the sets of common values that people accept and rely on for communication within them. Though two sciences, say economics and immunology, might appear to be very different from one another, they can nonetheless be understood to be similar systems in both relying sets of shared values that structure communication of scientists in each field. Thus Boulding’s point that economics is value-laden was not just that this is true of economics as it is true of other sciences; his general systems view of the world was that value-ladenness was one of the fundamental cross-science general structures that we ought to investigate to promote development within the different sciences. We can see more of what was involved in this view if we look more closely at Boulding’s early general systems thinking. Thus when it came to the question of how one should go about explaining general systems, Boulding believed that one approach proceeded by arranging particular empirical fields in a hierarchy of increasing complexity, which corresponded to the increasing complexity of the ‘individuals’ studied in different types of scientific research. What we see from Boulding is not only a hierarchical organization of systems of increasing complexity, but a view of all systems as homeostatic in nature. That is, Boulding’s general systems view was grounded in the idea that a system has an integrity and cohesiveness that derives from its self-regulating and self-organizing properties. This goes beyond the simpler holism idea that systems can be associated with observable sets of interconnected relationships in that it ascribes an active principle to such systems that ensures their continued functioning as systems per se. Of course by the standards of much science of his time, and especially economics, where more mechanical views of the world were central, this sort of ascription of an inherent active principle would have seemed implausible and unjustified. 4But Boulding and the general systems movement were in fact part of a much larger development in postwar ideas that would come to have tremendous impact on human society in subsequent decades, namely, the idea of cybernetic systems, such as emerged in the technology of computers, which, as originally conceived by such individuals as Alan Turing, Norbert Wiener, William Ross Ashby, Warren McCulloch, Margaret Mead, and John von Neumann, relied on and shared the same view of holistic systems as self-regulating and self-organizing (see Heims, 1993). Boulding and others in the general systems theory movement were well aware of this development, and saw themselves as contributing to a general philosophy to explain it. So when he gave his famous Presidential Address, he may well have believed himself a forerunner bringing general systems theory into economics.…

The big business world was the first to become globally networked and spreadsheets were the killer app. The race was on buy up local accounting firms and to spreadsheet standard audit rules as one of the first 5 to globally network this in such a way that global businesses appeared to have real time information flows from wherever they operated. These firms wanted to enjoy the monopoly control over the biggest boardrooms. There was no time or interest to question whether their historic tangible auditing systems provided the only numbers that the boardroom needed to govern over. So for example, 17 years of Entrepreneurial Revolution debates of how to model goodwill and above zero-sum modeling, were not seen to relevant to becoming biggest. What is the compound risk when a short-term one-fits-all auditing system set rewards etc of all in a business system how close to the perfect maths of destroying sustainability sustainability of serving the system's most unique purpose and integration of goodwill over time Some experts in conventional wisdom find the answer:: too inconvenient a truth for big corporation leaders to worry their top 10 (or 100 budget) decision-makers with - the reaction of the BIg 5 firm concerned Others astonishingly scary-as did those who took the time to debate an expert survey called Unseen Wealth published in 2000 did; Or not politically correct.

THE PLANET'S BIGGEST MATHS MISTAKE anyone who mathematically makes time to read unseen wealth can map out what sorts of risks were due to spiral: dotcoms collapse world utility networks collapses eg enron, worldcom .. wars with unintended consequences tsumanis that wave out over 8 hours without and mobile disaster preparation response ponzi schemes like madoffs, or more worryingly those that break states (pension schemes that public servants pay themselves that nobody else in the region can afford unless they are going to destroy their childrens livelihoods with generations of debt) too big too fail/exist banks (and currencies tied to place ruling over losing sustainability as fast as can be spun not just by individual systems but network (systems times systems) (note on simple idea: addition is the operand of separability whereas multiplication is operand of connectedness - which one do your masters of auditing condition at the instant biggest decisions are made or broadcast in tv's soundbite age of PR) A Keynes wrote in his general systems theory of the 1930s those who increasingly rule over the world pose the greatest risks to future generations. What if a mistake is embedded into all the numbers controling all the biggest decision-making in the world. What sort of irreversible consequences are likely to be spun when those at the top of the world's biggest systems have: no systemic way of valuing trust-flow and unique purpose (future impact of a global market sector) no understanding of extrenalisation of risks - precisely at at time when our human race is facing exponential opportunitoes and risks of a boderless planet (huge errors spin at borders when the world most powerful people are only valueing seprability not conectivity) inability to see local community contexts wherever these have deeper (eg cultural) consequences and diversity to map that one singular global view no way to celebrate the main innovation chalenge of colaboration and openness as the new leadership advantage we are still auditing an industrial age of counting up life things not the human age of livelihoods needing to accessing lifelong learning (including Norman's explorations of how to recognise what your greatest experts dont know they dont know at a time where when half of the most innovative possibilities of what can be done are new each decade)…

- Topic: what does "informal is normal" mean
- in developed countries as much as developing ones- less and less people are going to get jobs by passing every exam the educational system throws at them and then waiting for an employer to offer them a job the reason why mapping replicable microfranchises is essential to future sustainability is that such microfranchises support the informal and can help turn them into formal workers once a market value chain is equitable enough for them to contribute much of the value of a nation's productivity isn't counted in formal macroeconomic statistics- this is partly because of informal workers but it also because many of the acts of parenting have never been valued by economists (and what economists don't count gets devalued through time) also the way out of extreme poverty depends on relying on communal exchanges many of which are not monetised - again think of looking after each others children etc; and looking forward think how much value you as a knowledge networker swap directly…
