please explain.
In any event, the distinction between "political" and "economic" is bogus and seems inappropriate to a political economy discussion list. One of the best things that Bowles & Gintis did was to rejigger these terms. They explain how an "economic" "site" in society (such as production) can involve "political" practices (cooperation or conflict), while a "political" site (the state) can involve "economic" practices (as is obvious).
