In the past thirty years the comparative study of communism as conducted in the United States has rested on two conceptual pillars: Weber's theory of routinization and Spencer's notion of progress through industrialism. This article points out some of the limitations of these theories and then develops a more comprehensive framework for comparisons. One of the keys to the understanding of communist politics is the model of a "military society," also formulated by Spencer but generally ignored by contemporary social science. In terms of this model, communism is presented as a militant geopolitical response to international inequalities, the initial logic of which has been undermined by technological developments in the period following World War II.

Surveys some of the recent developments in the area of economic methodology. These may be of interest for their own sake, for the influence they may have upon developments in either economics itself or the philosophy of social science, and for their potential to stimulate analogous thinking in other disciplines.

THAT THIS ESSAY SHOULD HAVE TURNED OUT TO BE AS MUCH a matter of introspection as of retrospection should not, after all, have surprised me. As Pascal said, 'la dernière chose qu'on trouve en faisant un ouvrage est de savoir qu'il faut mettre la première'. If the study of politics has changed over the last half century, why then, so have I. 'You cannot step into the same river twice'. This is my apologia for starting off, not with my subject matter, but with myself!
