is not directly in conflict with the other. At face value, A&S contradicts the notion that the United States could unify. In KW, the two theories have a lot more room to work with one another. Although KW’s theory does run into some of the same issues regarding efficiency, because it doesn’t necessarily concern the absolute unification of two or more states, it can examine the results of state interaction well short of the legitimate use of force.

Welcome to Panem! A command economy controlled by the political elite located in the capital.
