Abstract
A unified, graphic conceptualization of the key variables of political science, sociology and economics is proposed.

The resulting distribution profiles can suggest proposi tions about relations among economic, social, and political prac tices. Myths of "demand and expectation" might also be trans lated into quantitative terms suited for comparison with actual distributions.
