The Social System

The Social System: A Treatise On The Principle Of Exchange is a book written by John Gray and published in 1831. The book is an exploration of the concept of exchange and its role in society. Gray argues that exchange is the fundamental principle that governs all social interactions, from economic transactions to personal relationships. He examines the various forms of exchange, including barter, money, and credit, and discusses the ways in which they shape social relationships and institutions. Gray also explores the relationship between exchange and power, arguing that those who control the means of exchange hold significant power over others. The book is considered a classic work of sociology and has been influential in shaping the field of social theory. It is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
