Ok. I'll attempt greater precision from a different angle.

   I see the word "Society" as a word with multiple overlapping
   meanings. Depending upon the context it's used, there are more
   precise, better words that can take its place. As a shortcut on
   occasion, it's fine. "There are these social forces and when
   taken as a whole, all at once, grouped together, we refer to
   these things as 'Society'".

   I'm fine with that. I've done much the same by including all of
   mathematics/numbers under the catchall of "metaphors" and going
   around proving it as best I can.

   However, while my usage of metaphor is semi-novel (spearheaded
   by Lakoff but likely a number of Philosophers prior; probably
   Wittgenstein - more your turf than mine) - the use of Society as
   an all-in-one term encompassing a diverse family of social
   constructs, is COMMON and used inappropriately, imho.

   Jonathon David Turner did an excellent thing by reframing the OP
   where the term Market would be a more appropriate term than
   Society.

   Now *that* is an answerable question. I can answer questions
   about Market.

   But about Society? it gets too messy. People start talking about
   Hermits.
