Economists ascribe an order to the circulation of material goods, resources, and wealth.
Sociologists look for the institutional arrangements and relations which give order to various social groups. Anthropologists study the cultural, symbolic, and discursive forms through which different societies and cultures define social and natural order. Political scientists seek to explain the organization and patterning of power in different societies. Psychologists look for the underlying explanatory order informing dreams, perception, and mental disorder. These challenges to the ways in which we think about order have come from two related fronts.
