Thanks to andrea and kyle from last quarter:

Four sources + organizations of power (hi Kyle!)

Ideological- derived from three arguments-->not necessarily religious 1) we require concepts/meanings to understand the world 2) social norms are required for efficient social cooperation 3) rituals/aesthetics Organized in two ways: 1) transcendent- autonomous role--diffused through literacy, coinage/markets, etc 2) morale- intensifying cohesion of already present group

Economic- satisfaction of need through organization of allocation/distribution -classes formed through grouping around tasks of extraction, transformation, distribution, and consumption Organized through circuits of praxis, based on circuits of production, distribution, exchange, and consumption - intensive work vs. extensive exchange

Military- necessity of organized physical defense Organization: concentrated-coercive (violence = most concentrated human power; authority yields results if concentrated military power present) Also extensive (expansion of territories)

Political- usefulness of centralized, institutionalized, territorialized regulation- exercised outward Organization sociospatically dual- domestic- centralized

But, geopolitical diplomacy present at boundaries
