Organic Solidarity and the Economy

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Soc 0453's organic solidarity, Durkheim's cohesion through mutual dependence among specialists, describes how a modern economy of interdependent workers holds together.

Show

A complex economy where a farmer, trucker, and grocer each depend on the others' distinct roles illustrates organic solidarity binding an economic system.

Watch for

Citing organic solidarity here does not mean mechanical solidarity vanished; both remain locked at Soc 0452/0453.
