RBF DEFINITIONS: Politics: “The unfamiliar complex of the new wealth accounting requirements of the evolving human experiences emerges as an aggregate of unique and popularly discerned everyday ‘news’ problems. In turn the popularly discerned inventory of problems altogether provides the raw materials to be processed by the Machinery of politics. It is the purpose of politics to digest the problems and to provide adequate accounting and readjustments to the unexpected and often disconcerting changes in the patterns of technical advantage realizations. Politics must thus implement life’s continually increasing sweepout and penetration of Universe with a continually changing set of operational rules and accounting conventions.” Cite HOW SOCIO-TECHNICAL WORLD PREFACE pg ix x 9 May1962 Citation and context at Science-Technology-Industry-Economics-Political Sequence (2)(3), 9 May’62
