POSSIBLE ORGANIZATIONS: WHY ARE THERE SO FEW FORMS OF POSSIBLE ORGANIZATION OF COMMUNITIES

Abstract

This essay shows that there are not so many possible forms of organization for whatever social entity despite we see it differently. The key for organizing them is stability, which is attained only in some circumstances, not others ones. And the latter are in fact scarce, letting only those institutions to survive, which persist for long time. So the patterns, according to which all these entities function, are scant, but they reflect our human nature.
