Abstract

Society is a nexus consisting of mutual relationships and co-operative interactions among individuals for the purpose of maximizing collective welfare. 1 Aristotle captured this eloquently: ‘the city comes into existence in order that men may live; it persists that they may live well.’ 2 Human interactions and participation in practices of reflexive cooperation create connections and interacting networks of power which, in turn, determine what participants should expect from others and from the institutional designs regulating societal contribution and distribution and the principles underpinning them. All societies are premised on the existence of a relative symmetry between contribution and distribution since the former creates the conditions of possibility for the latter as well as on a membership scheme which transforms individuals into members of a bigger collective whole.
