Synopsis

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of social and economic phenomena, exploring the organic processes that shape our world. The author presents a groundbreaking functional approach, organizing complex data around the 'vital functions' that sustain society. These functions include production, determination, and risk reduction, each involving various methods and activities that enable us to meet our needs and adapt to changing circumstances. By examining the interdependent nature of these functions, the book sheds light on how societies allocate resources, set goals, and mitigate risks, providing a deeper understanding of the social and economic systems that govern our lives. This innovative approach offers a valuable framework for analyzing the dynamic processes of society and the challenges we face in the present day.
